HMTS-X2 Flexible Network Monitoring Gateway For HMS And SMC Protocols

The HMTS-X2 Flexible Network Monitoring Gateway For HMS And SMC Protocols from Comtech is a Headend Equipment. Headend include several equipment such as head-end, rectifiers, digital satellite receivers, transmitters, RF modulators (QAM/QPSK), control modules, servers that receive the signal from satellites and after that, decode, encode, and multiplex the signal to send in fields via fibers to subscribers.

The HMTS-X2 is a fully flexible configurable gateway for standardized HMS networks. The device can contain 12 modules, minimum 1 and maximum 6 downstream transmitters, and receivers in all the free slots - serving the possibility of composing clusters from the manageable 3000 pieces of network elements. On demand the modules are available with DOCSIS 3.1 compatible frequency ranges even so like the newest COMTECH transponders. The device can work as a modem too in case of SMC based monitoring solutions. The HMTS-X2 has an additional RS-485 connection for managing headend elements without Ethernet connection.
