[Via Satellite 10-20-2015] Satellite Radio Frequency (RF) distribution equipment company ETL Systems has provided carrier monitoring switches to SatSignature, an online global enterprise satellite monitoring service. SatSignature allows users access to real-time satellite spectrums, enabling them to get live feeds of any satellite at any time over the Internet.

ETL’s LS series monitoring switch features improved performance for carrier monitoring. Dual redundant power supplies provide resilience, and the unit can be monitored and controlled remotely via a Web browser interface or locally via the front panel. The company’s LS series monitoring switch range offers 8-by-1, 16-by-1 and 32-by-1 switching options and is suitable for Ka-band applications.
