Global Invacom Releases New Chip Set for Satellite TV

[Via Satellite 07-01-2014] Global Invacom announced the availability of the Romeo and Juliet chip set for distributing satellite TV services over fiber to hotels, enterprise and residential Multi-Dwelling Units (MDUs). Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) can develop their own FibreIRS compatible products using one programmable design.

“Opening up the global FibreIRS market to all OEMs is a great opportunity for the satellite TV industry because single programmable global products radically reduce manufacturing proliferation, driving cost reductions and increased ROI,” said Ian Walsh, VP of business development at Global Invacom.

Global Invacom created FibreIRS and related products as an alternative to traditional coaxial cables, which often require signal amplifiers to provide service throughout a building.
