Product<br />

<strong>Fte</strong> Networks customized solutions for the Operator:<br />

Power Distribution Vertical Units<br />

Among the large variety of auxiliary product for<br />

informatics nets in the <strong>Fte</strong> Networks catalogue,<br />

you can find the Power Distributions Units.<br />

Every informatics net has passive and active elements.<br />

The last ones have the necessity of electrical<br />

feeding and <strong>Fte</strong> considered as an important<br />

contribution to the sector the inclusion in its offer of<br />

different devices, that make easier this supply to<br />

the electronic systems of the net.<br />

4 4 <strong>Fte</strong> <strong>Fte</strong><strong>News</strong> <strong>News</strong> July Mayo-Junio 2012 2010<br />

This way we developed the project<br />

that gave name to the mentioned<br />

power distribution<br />

units.<br />

Among the three series<br />

included in the catalogue,<br />

the one who has<br />

the highest success<br />

among the national<br />

operators is the<br />

Vertical Series.<br />

The sophisticated and<br />

technologically advanced<br />

data centers<br />

of several<br />

operators have<br />

betted on this<br />

useful and effective<br />

“<strong>Fte</strong> Networks<br />

Solution” as a definitive way to<br />

the redundant and fl exible feeding<br />

of his servers.<br />

The installation of a double-input vertical PDU in a<br />

server cabinet - with its hot swappable modules addition<br />

or extraction (one by one) capability in one or another<br />

feeding input line - allows a simple way for charges<br />

balancing. This constitutes an optimal solution for datacenter<br />

designers.<br />

A solution that definitely satisfies redundant and versatile<br />

supply’s matters, with a feeding guarantee for the critical<br />

services.


Product<br />

<strong>Fte</strong> maximal about to celebrate a decade in one of its<br />

most technological families: Strength Field Meters<br />

<strong>Fte</strong>’s bet for R+D+I on its family of strength fi eld meter<br />

was strong from the beginning. In 2003 <strong>Fte</strong> started<br />

this business with the purchasing of the French manufacturer<br />

Felec, acquiring the 100% of the shares of the<br />

French company.<br />

On its side, Felec, which was a specialist in the design<br />

and manufacturing of measurement devices, started its activity<br />

with a team of engineers dedicated to the design and<br />

manufacture of sat finders in 1993.<br />

During the subsequent years of its creation, they started<br />

developing the famous MC1 and MC10, and later they<br />

launched the first strength field meters MC30, MC30 A<br />

and MC 32.<br />

Soon after <strong>Fte</strong> acquired Felec, the company went through<br />

a transformation getting new human as well as technical resources.<br />

The results of such investments did not take long<br />

to show up, and soon the launch of the fi rst <strong>Fte</strong> maximal<br />

strength fi eld meter was a reality, the Mediamax, a<br />

CRT fi eld strength meter with DVB-S and DVB-T.<br />

Broadly, the high acceptance of <strong>Fte</strong> strength fi eld<br />

meter by the sector through the years, has generated an<br />

obligation and commitment to constantly offer the most technological<br />

and innovative solutions to the market.<br />

By the end of 2006 <strong>Fte</strong> revolutionizes once again the<br />

world of the strength fi eld meters with the “Mediamax<br />

Evo” Family, a compact and light device with TFT<br />

screen and with really revolutionary elements such as<br />

the simultaneous presentation on screen of the measure,<br />

together with the spectrum and the image.<br />

The developments do not stop in our facilities in France<br />

and in 20<strong>08</strong> <strong>Fte</strong> offers a small jewel: the “Mediamax<br />

Mini”, a compact strength field meter whose weight is<br />

only 2kgs and that has all the necessary features for<br />

the telecommunications installations (DVB-s, DVB-T, analogical,<br />

etc)<br />

Today, almost 10 years later, the commitment of the company<br />

remains intact. For this reason we launched the new<br />

“Mediamax MINI HD” a few months ago. It is a device<br />

that uses the Linux Platform, prepared for the measurement<br />

and display of HD signals.<br />

The experience, the knowledge and the commitment to<br />

the non-stopping evolution are the values that day by day<br />

boost us to improve and to go forward in one of the most<br />

technological families of our catalogue and a clear benchmark<br />

of <strong>Fte</strong> maximal.<br />

Mediamax MINI HD<br />

Made in EU<br />

International Presence<br />

<strong>Fte</strong> maximal DUBAI<br />

We consolidate our position in the M<strong>EN</strong>A<br />

market<br />

Our subsidiary in Dubai has been fulfilling the objectives<br />

from its beginning in 20<strong>08</strong>:<br />

- Consolidation in the existing markets in the emerging<br />

countries of the M<strong>EN</strong>A area (Middle East and North<br />

Africa).<br />

- Searching for new opportunities from a geographical<br />

enclave like Dubai, an area with a high value for logistics and<br />

which is also commercial bridge for the West, the Middle East<br />

and Africa.<br />

It is worth highlighting our positioning in the STB’s market and<br />

the entrance in big real estate’s projects in the area, offering<br />

technical and development support to the M<strong>EN</strong>A market from<br />

our subsidiary in Dubai.<br />

Below we are going to explain 2 successful cases of<br />

our subsidiary.<br />

Case 1<br />

<strong>Fte</strong> maximal has been the 1st certifi ed trademark as a<br />

supplier of receivers for the new satellite payment platform<br />

myHD headquartered in Dubai. After the obligatory test of<br />

specifications and security, the new receiver model MAX<br />

S2000, which will be available in the market from August, has<br />

been approved by the myHD platform.<br />

Its more outstanding features are: conditional access<br />

CONAX7 Chipset Pairing with smart card reader,<br />

DVB-S HD, PVR ready for external disk. The commercialization<br />

of the model MAX S2000 will include the user’s<br />

subscription card in prepayment mode for the initial offer of<br />

the channels MBC HD , MBC2 HD , MBC4 HD , MBC Action HD ,<br />

MBC Max HD , Al-Arabiya HD , MBC Drama HD. .<br />

Receiver MAX S 2002<br />

Case 2<br />

Our subsidiary in Dubai has taken part in many big projects<br />

of SMATV, CATV, etc.<br />

One of the latest most important ones is the Ajman Pearl,<br />

which took part in the emirate of Ajman in U.A.E. It consists<br />

on a project for 12 buildings with distribution by 4<br />

satellite multiswitches in each one of its departments (Nilesat,<br />

Arabsat, Hotbird, Asiasat).<br />

After months of negotiation in front of many offers from competitors,<br />

<strong>Fte</strong> accomplished signing the Project with the collaboration<br />

of its distributor/installer ONMIYA, based on the<br />

U.A.E. Emirate of Sharjah.<br />

The Ajman Pearl Towers Project in numbers:<br />

- 210 Km Coaxial Cable<br />

- 4280 Outlets<br />

- 200 Multiswitches.<br />

- 144 x IF amplifiers.<br />

- and more of 20.000 connectors


Who is who<br />

JORGE MONTE COLLADO<br />

<strong>Fte</strong>’s technology par excellence<br />

• Jorge, we know that the work of a<br />

Technical Manager goes far beyond<br />

the mere satisfaction of the fulfi llment<br />

of the requirements. Let us know why.<br />

The position of the Technical Manager<br />

gets especial relevance in those companies<br />

that need a particular attention towards<br />

R+D+I. The fulfillment of the requirements is<br />

just a part of this job but it goes far beyond.<br />

Concerning the product, I would start with<br />

fair attendances, congresses and events related<br />

to the sector that, together with the inputs<br />

from the commercial team and a tight<br />

collaboration with them, allow us to define<br />

new and innovative products that will be introduced<br />

in our catalogue.<br />

Once they are defined, we design them<br />

following a plan until they are ready. The<br />

plan will always depend on the complexity of<br />

the project, on where it is developed and on<br />

the necessary resources.<br />

Regarding the Production we define and<br />

incorporate the most efficient manufacturing<br />

systems trying to get the lowest cost in and<br />

outside the company (outsourcing). During<br />

the production of the new product, many<br />

times we have to redesign the existing one<br />

in order to incorporate the latest advances in<br />

the sector. At the same time, we investigate<br />

the range of solutions from other manufacturers<br />

in our business line in order to incorporate<br />

them in our production and quality<br />

systems if it is necessary.<br />

Finally, we manage the system registration<br />

and the definable improvements as industrial,<br />

utility model or patent.<br />

• Technologically speaking, where<br />

does the sector of the distribution of<br />

TV signal go towards?<br />

In the recent years we have been under<br />

the spread of systems and devices that little<br />

by little are incorporating TV. These devices,<br />

each time more interconnected, get to<br />

an enormous variety of contents that allow<br />

us to connect and to communicate from any<br />

corner of the world.<br />

Up to now our sector was anchored in the<br />

reception of statics TV signals, without any<br />

kind of interactivity (there was some attempt<br />

with MHP but without a great success) and<br />

with a small availability of contents in terrestrial<br />

and a little bit bigger in satellite. With the<br />

new technologies (mainly IP) this is advancing<br />

very quickly, and there are more products<br />

from our sector that incorporate them<br />

from the origin each time: TV with internet<br />

connection, hybrid receivers (terrestrial or<br />

satellite plus IP) with almost infinite possibilities<br />

of VoD, interconnection through social<br />

nets, Youtube, etc.<br />

Due to the previously mentioned, the wide<br />

band request in our homes will have to increase<br />

during the next years, and it will force<br />

the establishment of optical fiber and IP nets<br />

in a more massive way<br />

• Are you thinking of reinforcing any<br />

product line?<br />

Our objective is always directed towards<br />

the total satisfaction of our clients and, therefore,<br />

we are working on different lines at<br />

the same time. An example would be the<br />

revision of our catalogue in order to make<br />

it easier, more understandable and approachable<br />

for the distributor and the installer.<br />

Other lines of actions are focused on the<br />

reinforcement of products and solutions, for<br />

example the adaptation of our central amplifiers<br />

Genius, where we will incorporate a<br />

new model of programming which is totally<br />

automatic. Another example is the introduction<br />

of the new models of hybrids receivers<br />

HD LINUX, that open the doors to infinite<br />

possibilities such as plug-in’s for wheather,<br />

Youtube, WebCAM, IRC, or VoD services<br />

(own Video Club), also ready for Dongle<br />

Wifi external USB.<br />

Another important effort has been implemented<br />

in the strength field meter MINI HD<br />

in order to keep them with the same price as<br />

the SD. During this year other innovations<br />

and changes will be fruitful.<br />

• A bet on the future…<br />

We work and bet firmly on several possibilities.<br />

Right now I can tell you that we will introduce<br />

a security line with remote connection<br />

for the monitoring of the cameras via internet,<br />

or the inclusion of the optical fiber in our<br />

<strong>Fte</strong> Networks line.<br />

Also, and inside of the new plan of fidelity<br />

and service to clients, we will extend the<br />

guarantee of new products in the most professional<br />

line which implies a clear compromise<br />

to the quality and reliability.<br />

• Defi ne the company you work in with<br />

3 words.<br />

Dynamism, Professionalism, Future<br />

• We know that you keep really in shape…<br />

and that makes you very special.<br />

How do you do it? Tell us your “secrets”<br />

Well... even if I do not do it as much as I<br />

would like to, I try to practice some sports<br />

twice or three times a week. It is not only<br />

an issue of keeping an acceptable physical<br />

state, but as an outlet that helps me to clear<br />

my head from the work, pressure and daily<br />

stress that we suffer in a changing environment<br />

and each day more demanding. Mainly<br />

I like going for a run and once a week I play<br />

a football 7 match with some “old friends”<br />

and after that we take a beer.<br />

Moreover, I challenge myself to work<br />

a little bit harder than the standard by for<br />

example preparing some half marathon, a<br />

marathon (finisher this year), a triathlon or<br />

a vertical mile… Things that, besides, force<br />

me to improve a little bit each day.<br />

I don’t think this is any kind of “secret” and<br />

I really recommend it to everybody, each one<br />

inside of his/her limitations and possibilities.<br />

Digital Dividend: Looking towards the future<br />

<strong>Fte</strong> Solutions in advanced HD receivers<br />

The Industrial Ministry has presented to the televisions a<br />

new plan for redistributing their channels and release some<br />

radio-electronic space with the aim of transfer it to the telecommunications<br />

companies.<br />

In practice, this project implies the reduction of at least<br />

the 20% of the capacity that the national private channels<br />

currently have. This cutting would concentrate the high definition<br />

(HD) offers of all the channels into some specific<br />

frequencies.<br />

In order to watch these programs, the audience<br />

would need HD receivers, since the signal of these<br />

channels will not be broadcasted simultaneously in<br />

standard defi nition (SD) and HD as Antena 3, Telecinco<br />

or Cuatro are currently doing.<br />

“Renovating the set of TVs will be necessary and this is a<br />

project that could take several years” say the televisions.<br />

This readjustment in TDT is caused by the new usage that<br />

it is going to be given to the frequencies that are occupied<br />

by TV.<br />

The Government wants that the space that is currently<br />

occupied by these frequencies gets released before 1st<br />

January 2014. From that moment on, these bands will be<br />

assigned to the mobile telephones net, a sector that has a<br />

bigger business projection.<br />

The Experts assure that in the future the TV will not occupy<br />

radio electronic space anymore and it will be distributed by<br />

the Internet. But at the moment it is just a future possibility.<br />

Industrial ministry proposes to “shrink” the signals of the conventional broadcast<br />

and concentrate the high defi nition ones. Adapted receivers will be needed.<br />

Receptor <strong>Fte</strong> MAX T90 HD Receptor MAX T 115 HD Plus<br />

Summary of Concepts about the redesign of the<br />

sector:<br />

- Analogue Switch off. In April 2012, with the total implementation<br />

of the digital terrestrial TV, each one of the<br />

6 private operators (Antena 3, Telecinco, Cuatro, La Sexta,<br />

Veo TV and Net TV) received a multi channel. These<br />

channels have capacity for four channels. Some operators<br />

broadcast a high definition channel too in their wide band.<br />

- High Defi nition. In front of the false high definition that<br />

some channels were using, the Government imposed<br />

some rules to the operators in order to respect a minimum<br />

quality when broadcasting such signals.<br />

- Digital Dividend. The Governments plans to give the<br />

frequencies that are currently occupied by TV to the Mobile<br />

telephones before 1st January 2014. This frequency’s<br />

release is a process known as Digital Dividend.<br />

- Antennas issue: The change of frequencies will force<br />

the audiences to modify their collective antennas in order<br />

to watch the programs.<br />

“Only when we are able to differentiate between working as a team and a working<br />

team we will be able to lead our organizations”.
