Reliable Network Bonding with a Single IP Address

Our solutions provide seamless network bonding that consolidates multiple connections—such as dual cellular modems, local internet, and satellite into a single, unified IP address. This ensures your transmitter site maintains uninterrupted connectivity for critical operations like audio and video codecs.

Even in the rare event that the bonded network experiences a failure, the system automatically switches to a pre-selected single connection. This fallback ensures your broadcast remains online, providing unparalleled reliability and redundancy.

The system is designed to handle failures gracefully. If one connection in the bonded network goes down, the traffic is seamlessly redistributed among the remaining active connections without interruption. If the entire bonded network fails, the device automatically defaults to a pre-configured single connection, keeping your site online and operational.

This level of resilience ensures that your transmitter site remains connected, no matter the circumstances.

With advanced bonding, SNMP monitoring, and intelligent failover, these solutions provide the network stability and performance required for critical broadcast operations. Your connection stays live, secure, and reliable, so you can focus on what matters most delivering quality content to your audience.

An external antenna at a transmitter tower site offers significant advantages for ensuring stable and reliable connectivity, especially in remote or challenging environments. Unlike indoor antennas or devices placed inside equipment shelters, external antennas are specifically designed to maximize signal quality and minimize issues like interference and multipath distortion.

1. Enhanced Signal Strength

External antennas provide better line-of-sight access to cell towers, significantly improving signal strength. By positioning the antenna outside and above obstructions, such as buildings or natural terrain, it can capture stronger, cleaner signals. This leads to a more stable connection and better overall network performance.

2. Directional Control for Optimal Performance

With the ability to point the antenna directly at the desired cell tower, you can target the strongest and most reliable signal source. This is especially important at remote tower sites where multiple cell towers may serve the area, but not all of them provide optimal performance. Directional antennas, such as Yagi antennas, allow you to focus your connection on a specific tower, ensuring consistency and minimizing potential interference from less reliable sources.

3. Reduced Multipath Distortion

Inside buildings or equipment shelters, signals often bounce off walls and other structures, creating multipath distortion that can degrade connection quality. By placing the antenna outside, you eliminate these reflections, resulting in a cleaner signal with fewer disruptions. This is especially important for mission-critical applications like audio or video broadcasting, where consistent data flow is essential.

4. Greater Reliability in Harsh Environments

External antennas are built to withstand extreme weather conditions, making them ideal for tower sites exposed to wind, rain, and temperature fluctuations. Paired with rugged bonding solutions, they ensure uninterrupted connectivity, even in the most demanding environments.

5. Flexibility for Remote Locations

In areas where cellular coverage might be weak or inconsistent, external antennas can be mounted on towers or poles to reach greater heights, extending their reach to distant cell towers. This added flexibility ensures that even remote sites maintain a reliable connection, critical for continuous broadcasting operations.

6. Improved Network Performance for Bonded Solutions

When used with bonded networks, external antennas can boost the performance of each individual connection, enhancing the overall reliability of the bonded system. By targeting specific towers for multiple carriers, you can optimize the performance of every connection in the network, ensuring smooth failover and redundancy.

1. Designed for High-RF Environments

Broadcast tower sites are often surrounded by intense RF (radio frequency) fields due to the high-power transmission equipment operating nearby. This can create a challenging environment for network devices, which may experience interference or even hardware malfunctions. Our hardware is rigorously designed and tested to perform flawlessly in high-RF conditions, ensuring reliable connectivity even in the most demanding scenarios.

2. Resilient Against RF-Induced Resets

With years of experience in both IT and broadcast engineering, we’ve seen firsthand how many standard hardware devices fail in high-RF environments. Common issues include unexpected resets caused by RF interference, leaving critical connections offline and operations disrupted. Our solutions are engineered to prevent such resets, delivering stable performance and keeping your site connected when other devices would fail.

3. Shielded for Maximum Interference Resistance

Our devices are equipped with advanced RF shielding to minimize the impact of interference from nearby transmitters. This shielding ensures stable operation, preventing signal loss, performance degradation, or hardware failures caused by electromagnetic interference.

4. Consistent Performance Under Heavy RF Load

High-RF environments can overwhelm standard networking equipment, leading to dropped connections and reduced throughput. Our solutions are specifically built to maintain consistent performance even when exposed to intense RF fields, ensuring your network operates smoothly and without interruptions.

5. Reliable for Critical Broadcast Operations

For audio and video broadcasting, stable and uninterrupted connectivity is essential. By using hardware that is proven to perform in high-RF environments, you can be confident that your codecs, SNMP monitoring systems, and other critical devices will stay connected and functional at all times.

6. Tested for Real-World Conditions

Our solutions are not just lab-tested—they are field-tested in real-world broadcast environments. From being exposed to high-power AM transmitters to heavy-duty FM broadcast operations, our hardware has proven to handle the extreme demands of tower sites. This ensures that it operates reliably even in the harshest RF conditions, maintaining stable connections and uptime.

7. Enhanced Stability for Bonded Connections

High-RF environments can cause interference across multiple network connections. Our bonded solutions are specifically engineered to maintain stability and reliability, even when individual connections are subjected to RF interference. This ensures your unified IP address and failover systems remain robust and operational.

Our advanced bonding solution combines a wide range of network sources, including Starlink satellite, connections from up to four cellular carriers, and local fiber networks, into a single, unified IP address. This approach ensures uninterrupted connectivity for even the most remote or challenging transmitter sites.
