IMT Unveils New Wireless Equipment

Integrated Microwave Technologies (IMT), is to unveil its new wireless equipment at CCW 2015. The product range on display at the show will include the GL Fixed Link System, Newscaster DR3 diversity receiver and CRx6 IP diversity receiver.

Modular architecture makes the RF Central GL Hybrid Broadcast/IP Fixed Link system an advanced hybrid broadcast/IP microwave fixed link. Available in all Part 74 and Part 101 microwave bands from 2 to 23 GHz, the system can be configured as a traditional indoor system, or a split system with all the RF equipment housed in a separate weatherproof outdoor unit.

More than four dozen different modules are available, making it simple to fill any system requirement. The MFR2 mainframe makes it easy to build configurations ranging from a basic simplex link to a sophisticated high power, hot-standby diversity system. Future module updates will be backward compatible with existing systems. New modules and features recently added to the GL line include the PWS/A and PWS/D redundant power supplies and the SFP/4 hitless switch and mux card.

The Newscaster DR3 is a third-generation diversity receiver that incorporates many of features found in Nucomm's DR1 and DR2 receivers, as well as the following essential updates: six-way MaxRC diversity, IP diversity, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 decoding, a webpage interface and integration into IP networks. It also offers a built-in IP diversity receiver switch.

The DR3 is designed to work with Nucomm's new High Dynamic Range Block Down Converters (HDRBDCs), which automatically compensate for cable loss. Highly modular and scalable, the DR3 lets users daisy chain up to eight receivers and share the same set of antennas. Users can connect up to three externally located receivers via Ethernet to create an IP diversity system.

The CRx6 is part of Nucomm's family of IP diversity receiversIt is a COFDM (DVB-T compliant) six-way diversity receiver, offering high quality RF performance and environmental durability for external use. It accepts the input from external antennas, without problematic block-down converters, and streams directly over an IP network to a DR3 or networked decoder. The CRx6 optionally features the ability to receive up to four RF channels simultaneously. When used in conjunction with IMT's DR3 diversity receiver, users can pair multiple CRx6 receivers together, expanding coverage seamlessly across a wide geographic area.

"We are excited to have a range of our latest products on display at CCW 2015," says John Payne IV, CTO, Integrated Microwave Technologies. "We have continuously listened to our customer base when making updates to our products, culminating in the lineup we are bringing to CCW. From the recent module additions of the GL line, to the enhanced features in the newDR3 receiver, these adaptations will be on full display for attendees to see."
