Televisa Selects ETL Systems' RF Distribution Equipment

Televisa, one of the leading media companies in Latin America and the operator of a direct-to-home satellite pay television system in Mexico, has chosen ETL Systems' RF distribution equipment for its ground segment update following a rigorous selection process.

Televisa is one of Mexico's most powerful and influential TV networks and a leading provider in the pay TV market. Producing some of the most popular telenovelas in the region, Televisa has played a major role in boosting the popularity of Spanish-language TV content.

ETL Systems were chosen to replace and upgrade the existing 64 x 64 matrix, which had become obsolete as operations had grown.

In order to receive signals from multiple satellites, the customer required a bigger matrix to then distribute these signals to all integrated receiver decoders (IRDs).

Following multiple tests, ETL's demo matrix impressed and the Harrier 128x128 RF matrix was chosen for the upgrade, as it met their minimum capacity requirements of 72x80. It also offered the option to expand in future should the broadcaster need to scale up their operations.
