What We Offer

Compact, modular, and future-ready RF distribution

We customize solutions based on ETL Systems’ GENUS smart chassis to meet our clients' unique needs. Our tailored systems leverage the GENUS chassis—available in 1U, 2U, and 3U rack sizes—to support up to 17 RF distribution modules. This modular, compact platform not only saves space and reduces costs but also boosts overall RF performance. Enhanced features such as hot-swappable components, expanded RF module compatibility, advanced security protocols, and a touchscreen front panel for local control and monitoring make our custom system solutions ideal for scalable teleport operations.

  • Secure remote control & monitoring

    The GENUS habitat offers improved security aspects (SNMPv3 and HTTPS) while maintaining an industry-leading module density, with 17 module slots available in the 1U chassis. These upgrades make GENUS a highly secure and efficient solution for demanding applications.

  • Save rack space & cost

    The GENUS chassis integrates StingRay RF over Fibre, ETL’s Falcon frequency converters, ALTO amplifiers, switches, splitters, and small RF matrices/routers, all within a single indoor or outdoor chassis. This consolidation reduces costs, saves rack space, and enhances system resilience.

These advancements ensure that the GENUS smart chassis not only meets current operational demands but also anticipates future technological requirements.

  • Flexibility

    Operators can configure the GENUS chassis to meet their exact RF distribution needs, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency.

  • Enhanced Compatibility

    The GENUS range introduces new compatible RF modules, expanding the range of options available for operators.

  • Space Saving

    The smart chassis concept enables multiple RF modules to be housed within the same shelf, reducing the overall footprint and maximising
    space utilisation.

  • Improved Performance

    The GENUS smart chassis boasts improved overall RF performance compared to previous models, ensuring high-quality signal management.

  • Cost Reduction

    By providing space savings and offering hot-swappable components, the GENUS range reduces running costs and enhances maintenance efficiency.

  • User Friendly Interface

    The HMI touchscreen provides improved local control and monitoring capabilities, making it easier for operators to manage their ground
    segment setup.

5 Chassis Available: 1U, 2U, 3U, ODU, Benchtop

The GENUS chassis range offers versatile solutions across various form factors, including 1U, 2U, 3U, outdoor (ODU), and benchtop configurations. Designed to meet diverse operational needs, these chassis provide robust housing for ETL’s advanced modules, supporting applications ranging from satellite ground stations to telecommunications infrastructure.
