The reliability of your operational network can be increased significantly by adding a second transmission line based on another technology, for example Audio over IP. The FlexDSR02/04+ offers the possibility to receive a stream via satellite or IP, therefore you can easily add the IP backup to an existing 2wcom satellite transmission system.

Audio over Satellite Hybrid SAT/IP Network

Even if some devices like the IP-8e have redundant power supplies, it can be required to add 1+1 device redundancy to a transmission chain. Therefore both chains before the satellite can be combined to a 1+1 redundancy with a redundancy switch, for example the AZ210 from Newtec. If you want to set up a redundant system, please don’t hesitate to ask us to find the right solution.
