CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
MaxLinear Inc. (NYSE: MXL), a leading provider of radio frequency (RF) and mixed-signal integrated circuits for cable and satellite broadband communications, the connected home, data center, metro, long-haul fiber networks, and wireless infrastructure, today announced that Unitron Group is using its MxL584 Full-Spectrum Capture™ (FSC™) receiver in two new products now available in the market.
The Johansson Model 5400 SAT>IP SMATV Server is a rack-mountable server that can receive signals from up to four satellite bands and multicast up to 32 channels on an IP network. The satellite reception is made possible by the MxL584 FSC receiver, which supports up to four Quattro or Quad LNB inputs and demodulates up to eight DVB-S2/S satellite channels in a single, highly integrated chip. The Model 5400 was recently certified by the SAT>IP Alliance.
The Johansson Model 5500 ProFlex headend module is also based on MxL584. The 5500 integrates a multiswitch, which enables reception of up to eight different transponders from any of the four input satellite bands. The output is programmable via the integrated web server or optional universal USB installer (UUI) software and supports DVB-T, DVB-C, DVB-IP, and DVB-IPTV. Multicast output of up to 64 single program transport streams (SPTS) to IPTV client devices is supported.
“These products from Unitron make satellite TV service much more appealing to multi dwelling unit owners, opening a new market for satellite TV service providers,” said Will Torgerson, MaxLinear Vice President & General Manager of its Broadband Group. “The MxL584 is ideal for all multi-channel satellite applications, because it brings great signal performance, a highly integrated feature set and low power consumption.”
Technical Highlights – MxL584
The MxL584 device features
four FSC tuners and eight DVB-S2/2 demodulators in a single chip, 10mm x
10mm QFN package. The device integrates all active front-end components,
including the low-noise amplifiers (LNA), to minimize the external bill
of material (BOM) in end products.
The built-in LTE and Wi-Fi immunity of MxL584 ensures robust performance, even in the presence of strong interference signals. The ultra-low power consumption of the MxL584 makes it ideal for applications with small form factors or thermal design constraints. The MxL584 is compliant with the requirements of Energy Star and the European Code of Conduct for Digital TV Services and Broadband Equipment in both standby and operating modes.
