[Satellite Today 08-28-08] SatService Gesellschaft für Kommunikationssysteme (SatService), a German satellite technology vendor, has introduced a new sat-nms LRXD 14 L-band distributor for satellite ground terminals, the company said Aug. 27. The product is designed for satellite ground terminals where a 19” rackmount unit is not possible due to space limitations, for example in satellite newsgathering terminals.
    The unit provides 4 L-band output ports, as well as 14/18V and 22kHz tone switching initiated by contact closure interface, which allows the control of the LNB’s polarisation and frequency range. The unit is powered by external 24V DC, which is available in all satellite ground terminals.
