Product catalog summary
Overview: Orbital Research specializes in manufacturing and supporting redundant systems for satellite communication (Satcom) systems, offering 1:1 and 1:2 redundancy configurations across various frequency bands including L, S, C, X, Ku, Ka, and Q bands. The systems protect equipment such as Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs), Low Noise Block Converters (LNBs), Block Down Converters (BDCs), and Block Up Converters (BUCs).
Key Features:
  • Automatic or manual device switching.
  • Intuitive operation via an Indoor Unit.
  • Local or remote operation capabilities (SNMP).
  • Enhanced network reliability through increased availability.
  • Flexible mounting options including antenna hubs, boom arms, or pole mounts.
  • Value-added options such as input/output couplers, transmit reject filters, 10 MHz reference backup, remote band switching, off-line device testing, and weather protection shrouds.
  • Standardized cable lengths up to 100 meters, with longer runs available.
  • Customizable systems to meet specific needs.
System Specifications:
  • Redundancy: 1:1 systems automatically switch to a standby unit upon primary failure, while 1:2 systems have one standby unit backing up two primary units, suitable for dual polarization systems.
  • Protected Equipment: LNAs, LNBs, BDCs, BUCs.
  • Mounting Options: Hub, boom, pole, and rack mounts.
  • Environmental Conditions: Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +60°C, with humidity specifications for both indoor and outdoor units.
  • Standards Compliance: RoHS and REACH.
  • Power: Redundant external power supplies with automatic failover and alarm features.
Design and Customization: Orbital products are designed with an open architecture to accommodate custom requirements. The redundant switch uses modular components for flexibility, and the indoor controller features a universal front panel for easy customization.

Orbital Redundancy System-1

Orbital Redundancy SystemDescription Orbital Research manufactures and supports a variety of redundant systems for Satcom systems. These include 1:1 and 1:2 systems in L, S, C, X, Ku, Ka and Q bands. Protected equipment includes LNAs, LNBs, BDCs and BUCs. • Automatic or manual switching between devices • Intuitive Indoor Unit operation • Local or remote operation (SNMP) • Increased availability for increased network reliability • Mounting flexibility - antenna hubs, boom arms or pole mounts • Various value-added options - input and output couplers, transmit reject filters, 10 MHz reference backup, remote band switching, off-line device testing, shrouds for weather protection • Standardized cable lengths of up to 100M - long runs available • Customized systems The Orbital LNB redundant switch features a slim, streamline outdoor unit mounted on a 19” rail for easy installation. Mounted LNBs allow easy swap out using industry standard LNBs. Each system comes with coax cable for the L-Band signals, and control cables which carries the DC, 10 MHz and monitor/control signals. The indoor unit is 1RU-19” with a simple LED display to quickly observe the LNB status, and control buttons to make any required changes to the system quickly and efficiently. Device redundancy is automatic (current sensing) or manually selected. Power supply redundancy is automatic.[ Mechanical Diagram To order or for more detailed information, please contact us at [email protected] | 604.419.8585 | orbitalresearch.net
