Product Lifecycle Announcement

2wcom Systems GmbH presents new migration strategy for discontinued products

Our key focus of our product innovation strategy is the development of next generation solutions that address the evolving broadcast technology and customer demands. This evolution involves not only the introduction of new products and technologies, but also the discontinuation of products that reached the end of their lifecycle.

The persistent shortage in the procurement of components played its part in accelerating this process. With appropriate planning in advance, we have succeded in establishing successor products that can be used as full replacements.

End of Sales and Support Strategy

2wcom will be discontinuing sales of the listed products and use its remaining stock of key components for repairs. New spare parts can be obtained as long as components and materials are available. In any case, technical support will remain available for our customers.

Migration Strategy

2wcom is committed to supporting our extensive worldwide base of valued customers. The discontinued products can be replaced by comparable products.

The suggested successors cover the basic functionality of the discontinued products. Moreover, the new products come with powerful additional features and are the best choice for a scalable and future-proof solution.

Green Footprint LogoDue to adjustments in the production process, upgrades of parts and optimizations in hardware and software, our devices boast lower power consumption and are therefore significantly more environmentally friendly.

If you wish to replace or complement existing setups, or if you would like to know how to integrate our new products in your environment, please do not hesitate and contact our sales team to speak about the best approach to meet your needs.

MPX-1g – flexible Solution for FM-RDS

The MPX-1g with RDS Encoder module is a fully functional replacement of the 2wcom C02 and C04 RDS Encoders. Adding scalable additional features, it integrates seamlessly in existing and new FM-RDS distribution chains.

It supports the dynamic generation of a full-featured RDS signal. It integrates seamlessly in existing and new FM transmitter systems and can act as a stand-alone RDS Encoder.

Moreover, the MPX-1g combines modular elements to generate components of the whole FM-MPX composite signal depending on the use case. Accordingly, it can be extended to a complete FM-MPX generator including stereo coding, RDS encoding and pilot. To meet growing requirements, versatile input and output options are available, including Audio over IP inputs, MPX/μMPX over IP and a DAB+ receiver for re-broadcasting.
