SMATV & IPTV television distribution
Reliable television for every room and apartment — satellite reception, headends and RF or IP distribution designed for hotels, residences, hospitals and offices.
Why SMATV/IPTV matters for your facility
We design satellite dishes and mounting for wind loads, build headends that convert satellite channels to RF or IP streams, and distribute them over coaxial or network cabling. For hotels, IPTV adds welcome screens, information channels and integration with the property management system, while multicast network design keeps streams efficient.

SMATV/IPTV engineering considerations
RF or IP?
RF suits buildings with existing coaxial cabling; IPTV offers interactive features over the data network.
Network design for multicast
IGMP snooping and VLANs prevent television streams flooding the network.
Weather-proof reception
Dish mounting, lightning protection and cable sealing protect reception in harsh weather.
