Alcatel-Lucent 9600 DTH Fixed and Mobile TV Transmitter
H igh / medium power digital terrestrial repeaters for D V B - T / H
The Alcatel-Lucent 9600 Digital Transmitter (DTH) broadcasts digital television to handheld or fixed terminals based on the Digital Video Broadcasting fixed Terrestrial/Handheld (DVB-T/H) European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) standard, in the ultra-high frequency (UHF) bands. There are four versions of the 9600 DTH high/ medium power available: the 9600 DTH 250, the 9600 DTH 500, the 9600 DTH 1000, and the 9600 DTH 2000 (according to the power transmitted: 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 watts of output power respectively). They are available in 3 different sized cabinets with similar telecom features. This family of transmitters is ideal for implementing DVB-T/H networks in the UHF band to cover large outdoor surfaces. The 9600 DTH high/medium power is optimized for low power consumption and low cost of operations and maintenance. It presents a complete set of configurations with optional redundancy and outdoor installation, which are most adapted to telecom environment.

Features

A high-performance digital Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (COFDM) modulator adapted for cellular low-power Single Frequency Networks (SFNs) Core equipment enclosed in a standard 19-inch rack for easy indoor or outdoor installation Fault-tolerant configuration, providing full redundancy of core functionality Flexible input-stream interfaces

9600 DTH 1000

Benefits
Easy installation and commissioning Complete set of configurations with optional redundancy and outdoor installation, fully adapted to telecom environment High-performance COFDM modulator with high Modulation Error Ratio (MER) to provide a high-quality video signal to mobile and fixed users High reliability with Dual Drive or Passive Standby configuration to reduce downtime Reliable performance, backed by Alcatel-Lucent customer support

9600 DTH DTH 500

Local and remote operations and maintenance (O&M) features through web browser and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support Truly redundant SNMP agent and single IP address in double drive A variety of backhauling interfaces A broad range of support services, including network design, hotline, repairs and on-site visits

Applications

DVB-T and DVB-H UHF fixed and mobile TV coverage of large areas Provides outdoor coverage, and is complemented by low-power DTH product range (50/100 watts) for indoor and dense urban coverage
