A unique end-to-end solution for efficient SFN broadcasting

ENENSYS Technologies brings to the broadcast industry a unique and complete range of SFN products that minimizes any single point of failure and guarantees content distribution over SFN network .

Frequency spectrum scarcity constrains broadcast operator to develop Single Frequency Network to deliver audiovisual content. SFN broadcasting requires that any transmitters of the same SFN cell deliver the content at the same time with the same frequency. A single desynchronization or wrong SFN signaling can disturb transmission and cause a complete blackout
for several seconds which is unacceptable for end-user experience and content providers.

To prevent transmitters from receiving corrupted or interrupted distribution stream, ENENSYS offers a set of redundancy mechanisms acting all along the broadcast network and turned every system interconnection in the SFN architecture into a point of strength of your SFN network’s reliability.

ENENSYS' end-to-end SFN solution ranges from high grade MIP inserter that offers seamless switch-over with the SFNguard technology, to SFN streams distribution over IP through the cost-effective FastCaster and GigaCaster product family, up to the comprehensive SFN Modulators/Exciters, NetMod and LabMod. SynFoNizer, ENENSYS' new redundant SFN distribution paths solution, guarantees seamless switch between broadcast and IP network distribution for instance. Finally, the Omnitoring solution, DiviCatch field testers and CastXplorer network probes, enables SFN network test and real-time monitoring. All this wide range of SFN products can be fully managed and monitored through a central network management system.
