Versatility across frequency bands
Real-time performance monitoring
Flexible control options
Secure remote control & monitoring
The GENUS habitat offers improved security aspects (SNMPv3 and HTTPS) while maintaining an industry-leading module density, with 17 module slots available in the 1U chassis. These upgrades make GENUS a highly secure and efficient solution for demanding applications.
Save rack space & cost
The GENUS chassis integrates StingRay RF over Fibre, ETL’s Falcon frequency converters, ALTO amplifiers, switches, splitters, and small RF matrices/routers, all within a single indoor or outdoor chassis. This consolidation reduces costs, saves rack space, and enhances system resilience.
GENUS Chassis Compatible
The smart chassis concept allows for the housing of multiple RF modules within the same shelf, providing space savings, reduced costs, and increased rack space efficiency.
All of the above modules can be housed in outdoor units.
2 Families Available
GENUS and Miniature Signal Generator
ETL Systems offers a comprehensive range of Noise & Signal Generators designed for precise RF testing in satellite communication, radar systems, and other demanding applications. These compact and versatile solutions ensure reliable performance in remote locations, antenna sites, and laboratories.
Noise & Signal Generators
ETL Systems offers a comprehensive range of Noise & Signal Generators designed for precise and adaptable RF testing across various applications. These generators enable cableless RF testing of mobile satellite communication systems, providing a loop-back test for satcoms terminals without the need for satellite access.
Available in single-band systems for L, S, and C band frequencies, ETL’s range includes compact bench instruments, space-saving miniature signal generators, and rack-mounted solutions, making them ideal for use in remote locations, antenna sites, equipment cabins, and laboratories related to satellite communications, radar systems, and scientific research.
Hot Swappable Modules
Hot swappable modules offer significant benefits in ground segment systems by enabling the replacement or upgrade of hardware components without interrupting service or powering down equipment.
This feature is crucial for maintaining continuous operation, particularly in mission-critical environments such as satellite communication, where downtime can lead to data loss or disruption of services. Hot swappability ensures swift and efficient maintenance, reducing repair times and operational costs while enhancing system reliability and uptime. Additionally, it allows for easy scalability and flexibility, enabling ground stations to adapt quickly to changing technology and capacity requirements.
Secure protocols with SNMPv3 and HTTPS
Implementing secure protocols like SNMPv3 and HTTPS in network management provides substantial benefits by ensuring the safety and integrity of data communications. SNMPv3 (Simple Network Management Protocol version 3) enhances security through robust authentication and encryption mechanisms, protecting network devices from unauthorised access and tampering. It also supports fine-grained access control, allowing administrators to precisely manage user permissions.
Meanwhile, HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) encrypts data transmitted over the internet, safeguarding sensitive information from interception and attacks during remote access and control of network devices. Together, these protocols help protect critical infrastructure from cyber threats, enhance compliance with security standards, and foster trust in network management practices. By securing both local and remote communication channels, they provide a resilient foundation for reliable and secure operations in modern networking environments.
Local & Remote control & monitoring
Local and remote control and monitoring capabilities provide essential advantages in managing complex systems and networks. Locally, operators can directly oversee equipment status, troubleshoot issues promptly, and make real-time adjustments to optimise performance. This immediate access is critical for maintaining operational continuity and responding swiftly to changing conditions or emergencies.
On the other hand, remote control and monitoring extend these capabilities beyond physical proximity, allowing administrators to manage devices and systems from virtually anywhere. This flexibility enhances operational efficiency by reducing the need for on-site interventions and enabling proactive maintenance and upgrades. Additionally, remote monitoring provides insights into long-term performance trends, enabling data-driven decision-making and predictive maintenance strategies. Overall, the combination of local and remote control and monitoring empowers organisations to maximise uptime, ensure regulatory compliance, and deliver reliable services to end-users.
