Elimination of Unnecessary Long-Distance Fees

Inexpensive Remote Television Signal Delivery

Problem:

We want to get our local television station broadcasts added to our local cable company. They have agreed but we have to deliver the signal to them. The recurring monthly fee for a T1 is too expensive; do you have a better way to do it?

 

Solution:

By using our Video Transport Units, we can take your high quality signal directly into our unit and convert it into Ethernet traffic. With our Motorola Canopy Radios, we can transport the full-motion, 30 frames per second, video up to 35 miles. At the cable head-end facility, we receive the signal and decode the Ethernet data back into real time, 30 frame per second, DVD quality video.

 

If the required distance is greater than 35 miles, additional radios can often be added to increase the distance.

 

Other Ideas:

You can use this same concept to transport video from a church to a nursing home, or from a water treatment facility to a monitoring station miles away, etc. The Video Transport Units give you the ability to take video from a camera or other source and transport it for viewing or monitoring miles away, in real time.

Inexpensive Remote Radio Signal Delivery

Problem:

I have a radio station and a sister station several miles away. I would like to get programming from our station to our affiliate without the expense and poor quality of a T1. How can I do that?

 

Solution:

We have two products that can help solve this problem. If you are looking for studio quality, Dolby approved sound, then we can transport the audio from a studio with our Hi-Fi Audio unit. The Hi-Fi Audio unit takes in studio quality sound via professional connectors (XLR) and converts the audio into Ethernet packets. We then connect the unit to a Motorola Canopy radio and transmit the audio up to 35 miles. We can add additional radios and extend the distance if necessary. At the receiving end we feed the Ethernet packets into another Hi-Fi Audio unit which converts it back into studio quality audio.

 

If you don't need to have studio quality audio, we have a less expensive alternative with a simpler Audio to Ethernet product. Audio from RCA input connectors is converted into Ethernet packets. These Ethernet packets are then sent over two Motorola Canopy Radios to your destination where we convert the data back into its original audio format and quality.

 

Other Ideas:

You may use the same Audio-to-Ethernet product to transport any sound.  For example, you could operate a VHF radio with tone control from miles away.

Elimination of Unnecessary Long-Distance Fees

Problem:

We are a small company and we have a warehouse several miles from our office. It just so happens that we are located in different phone territories and end up paying long distance fees for calls between our facilities. The telephone company has suggested several ways to save money but they still seem too expensive.

 

Solution:

We have two solutions for this problem. First, using our T1 to Ethernet product, we could take a T1 line from your office and send it wirelessly to your factory using two Motorola Canopy radios and connect directly to the PBX at the factory. This would give you all the communication you would need and you would only have to pay for the T1 to your office.

 

Second, if you don't need that much connectivity, we can provide a Remote-a-Phone. This product enables you to take a phone jack at your office and make it virtually available at your factory. The Remote-a-Phone takes the POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) line from the wall jack and converts it to Ethernet. This data is then sent over a pair of Motorola Canopy radios up to 35 miles (further with additional radios). At the receiving end the Ethernet data is fed into a second Remote-a-Phone unit which converts it back into analog. Just plug a standard telephone into the Remote-a-Phone phone jack and that phone is virtually connected to the phone jack at the remote location.  You can also plug in a fax machine or computer modem. You now have a single line connection to the warehouse.

 

Other Ideas:

Use the Remote-a-Phone as a long distance extension of your phone system.  Place a phone on the furthest golf hole from the club house for emergencies.  Use the Remote-a-Phone to wirelessly connect to a security guard office instead of running telephone lines.  Place a phone out at the barn, boathouse, or other out building and if they're close enough you can even use standard 802.11 (Wi-Fi) wireless devices.
