<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 />

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 />

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”.
