Product
Fte Networks customized solutions for the Operator:
Power Distribution Vertical Units
Among the large variety of auxiliary product for
informatics nets in the Fte Networks catalogue,
you can find the Power Distributions Units.
Every informatics net has passive and active elements.
The last ones have the necessity of electrical
feeding and Fte considered as an important
contribution to the sector the inclusion in its offer of
different devices, that make easier this supply to
the electronic systems of the net.
4 4 Fte FteNews News July Mayo-Junio 2012 2010
This way we developed the project
that gave name to the mentioned
power distribution
units.
Among the three series
included in the catalogue,
the one who has
the highest success
among the national
operators is the
Vertical Series.
The sophisticated and
technologically advanced
data centers
of several
operators have
betted on this
useful and effective
“Fte Networks
Solution” as a definitive way to
the redundant and fl exible feeding
of his servers.
The installation of a double-input vertical PDU in a
server cabinet - with its hot swappable modules addition
or extraction (one by one) capability in one or another
feeding input line - allows a simple way for charges
balancing. This constitutes an optimal solution for datacenter
designers.
A solution that definitely satisfies redundant and versatile
supply’s matters, with a feeding guarantee for the critical
services.

Product
Fte maximal about to celebrate a decade in one of its
most technological families: Strength Field Meters
Fte’s bet for R+D+I on its family of strength fi eld meter
was strong from the beginning. In 2003 Fte started
this business with the purchasing of the French manufacturer
Felec, acquiring the 100% of the shares of the
French company.
On its side, Felec, which was a specialist in the design
and manufacturing of measurement devices, started its activity
with a team of engineers dedicated to the design and
manufacture of sat finders in 1993.
During the subsequent years of its creation, they started
developing the famous MC1 and MC10, and later they
launched the first strength field meters MC30, MC30 A
and MC 32.
Soon after Fte acquired Felec, the company went through
a transformation getting new human as well as technical resources.
The results of such investments did not take long
to show up, and soon the launch of the fi rst Fte maximal
strength fi eld meter was a reality, the Mediamax, a
CRT fi eld strength meter with DVB-S and DVB-T.
Broadly, the high acceptance of Fte strength fi eld
meter by the sector through the years, has generated an
obligation and commitment to constantly offer the most technological
and innovative solutions to the market.
By the end of 2006 Fte revolutionizes once again the
world of the strength fi eld meters with the “Mediamax
Evo” Family, a compact and light device with TFT
screen and with really revolutionary elements such as
the simultaneous presentation on screen of the measure,
together with the spectrum and the image.
The developments do not stop in our facilities in France
and in 2008 Fte offers a small jewel: the “Mediamax
Mini”, a compact strength field meter whose weight is
only 2kgs and that has all the necessary features for
the telecommunications installations (DVB-s, DVB-T, analogical,
etc)
Today, almost 10 years later, the commitment of the company
remains intact. For this reason we launched the new
“Mediamax MINI HD” a few months ago. It is a device
that uses the Linux Platform, prepared for the measurement
and display of HD signals.
The experience, the knowledge and the commitment to
the non-stopping evolution are the values that day by day
boost us to improve and to go forward in one of the most
technological families of our catalogue and a clear benchmark
of Fte maximal.

International Presence
Fte maximal DUBAI
We consolidate our position in the MENA
market
Our subsidiary in Dubai has been fulfilling the objectives
from its beginning in 2008:
- Consolidation in the existing markets in the emerging
countries of the MENA area (Middle East and North
Africa).
- Searching for new opportunities from a geographical
enclave like Dubai, an area with a high value for logistics and
which is also commercial bridge for the West, the Middle East
and Africa.
It is worth highlighting our positioning in the STB’s market and
the entrance in big real estate’s projects in the area, offering
technical and development support to the MENA market from
our subsidiary in Dubai.
Below we are going to explain 2 successful cases of
our subsidiary.
Case 1
Fte maximal has been the 1st certifi ed trademark as a
supplier of receivers for the new satellite payment platform
myHD headquartered in Dubai. After the obligatory test of
specifications and security, the new receiver model MAX
S2000, which will be available in the market from August, has
been approved by the myHD platform.
Its more outstanding features are: conditional access
CONAX7 Chipset Pairing with smart card reader,
DVB-S HD, PVR ready for external disk. The commercialization
of the model MAX S2000 will include the user’s
subscription card in prepayment mode for the initial offer of
the channels MBC HD , MBC2 HD , MBC4 HD , MBC Action HD ,
MBC Max HD , Al-Arabiya HD , MBC Drama HD. .

Receiver MAX S 2002
Case 2
Our subsidiary in Dubai has taken part in many big projects
of SMATV, CATV, etc.
One of the latest most important ones is the Ajman Pearl,
which took part in the emirate of Ajman in U.A.E. It consists
on a project for 12 buildings with distribution by 4
satellite multiswitches in each one of its departments (Nilesat,
Arabsat, Hotbird, Asiasat).
After months of negotiation in front of many offers from competitors,
Fte accomplished signing the Project with the collaboration
of its distributor/installer ONMIYA, based on the
U.A.E. Emirate of Sharjah.
The Ajman Pearl Towers Project in numbers:
- 210 Km Coaxial Cable
- 4280 Outlets
- 200 Multiswitches.
- 144 x IF amplifiers.
- and more of 20.000 connectors

Who is who
JORGE MONTE COLLADO
Fte’s technology par excellence
• Jorge, we know that the work of a
Technical Manager goes far beyond
the mere satisfaction of the fulfi llment
of the requirements. Let us know why.
The position of the Technical Manager
gets especial relevance in those companies
that need a particular attention towards
R+D+I. The fulfillment of the requirements is
just a part of this job but it goes far beyond.
Concerning the product, I would start with
fair attendances, congresses and events related
to the sector that, together with the inputs
from the commercial team and a tight
collaboration with them, allow us to define
new and innovative products that will be introduced
in our catalogue.
Once they are defined, we design them
following a plan until they are ready. The
plan will always depend on the complexity of
the project, on where it is developed and on
the necessary resources.
Regarding the Production we define and
incorporate the most efficient manufacturing
systems trying to get the lowest cost in and
outside the company (outsourcing). During
the production of the new product, many
times we have to redesign the existing one
in order to incorporate the latest advances in
the sector. At the same time, we investigate
the range of solutions from other manufacturers
in our business line in order to incorporate
them in our production and quality
systems if it is necessary.
Finally, we manage the system registration
and the definable improvements as industrial,
utility model or patent.
• Technologically speaking, where
does the sector of the distribution of
TV signal go towards?
In the recent years we have been under
the spread of systems and devices that little
by little are incorporating TV. These devices,
each time more interconnected, get to
an enormous variety of contents that allow
us to connect and to communicate from any
corner of the world.
Up to now our sector was anchored in the
reception of statics TV signals, without any
kind of interactivity (there was some attempt
with MHP but without a great success) and
with a small availability of contents in terrestrial
and a little bit bigger in satellite. With the
new technologies (mainly IP) this is advancing
very quickly, and there are more products
from our sector that incorporate them
from the origin each time: TV with internet
connection, hybrid receivers (terrestrial or
satellite plus IP) with almost infinite possibilities
of VoD, interconnection through social
nets, Youtube, etc.
Due to the previously mentioned, the wide
band request in our homes will have to increase
during the next years, and it will force
the establishment of optical fiber and IP nets
in a more massive way
• Are you thinking of reinforcing any
product line?
Our objective is always directed towards
the total satisfaction of our clients and, therefore,
we are working on different lines at
the same time. An example would be the
revision of our catalogue in order to make
it easier, more understandable and approachable
for the distributor and the installer.
Other lines of actions are focused on the
reinforcement of products and solutions, for
example the adaptation of our central amplifiers
Genius, where we will incorporate a
new model of programming which is totally
automatic. Another example is the introduction
of the new models of hybrids receivers
HD LINUX, that open the doors to infinite
possibilities such as plug-in’s for wheather,
Youtube, WebCAM, IRC, or VoD services
(own Video Club), also ready for Dongle
Wifi external USB.
Another important effort has been implemented
in the strength field meter MINI HD
in order to keep them with the same price as
the SD. During this year other innovations
and changes will be fruitful.
• A bet on the future…
We work and bet firmly on several possibilities.
Right now I can tell you that we will introduce
a security line with remote connection
for the monitoring of the cameras via internet,
or the inclusion of the optical fiber in our
Fte Networks line.
Also, and inside of the new plan of fidelity
and service to clients, we will extend the
guarantee of new products in the most professional
line which implies a clear compromise
to the quality and reliability.
• Defi ne the company you work in with
3 words.
Dynamism, Professionalism, Future
• We know that you keep really in shape…
and that makes you very special.
How do you do it? Tell us your “secrets”
Well... even if I do not do it as much as I
would like to, I try to practice some sports
twice or three times a week. It is not only
an issue of keeping an acceptable physical
state, but as an outlet that helps me to clear
my head from the work, pressure and daily
stress that we suffer in a changing environment
and each day more demanding. Mainly
I like going for a run and once a week I play
a football 7 match with some “old friends”
and after that we take a beer.
Moreover, I challenge myself to work
a little bit harder than the standard by for
example preparing some half marathon, a
marathon (finisher this year), a triathlon or
a vertical mile… Things that, besides, force
me to improve a little bit each day.
I don’t think this is any kind of “secret” and
I really recommend it to everybody, each one
inside of his/her limitations and possibilities.

Digital Dividend: Looking towards the future
Fte Solutions in advanced HD receivers
The Industrial Ministry has presented to the televisions a
new plan for redistributing their channels and release some
radio-electronic space with the aim of transfer it to the telecommunications
companies.
In practice, this project implies the reduction of at least
the 20% of the capacity that the national private channels
currently have. This cutting would concentrate the high definition
(HD) offers of all the channels into some specific
frequencies.
In order to watch these programs, the audience
would need HD receivers, since the signal of these
channels will not be broadcasted simultaneously in
standard defi nition (SD) and HD as Antena 3, Telecinco
or Cuatro are currently doing.
“Renovating the set of TVs will be necessary and this is a
project that could take several years” say the televisions.
This readjustment in TDT is caused by the new usage that
it is going to be given to the frequencies that are occupied
by TV.
The Government wants that the space that is currently
occupied by these frequencies gets released before 1st
January 2014. From that moment on, these bands will be
assigned to the mobile telephones net, a sector that has a
bigger business projection.
The Experts assure that in the future the TV will not occupy
radio electronic space anymore and it will be distributed by
the Internet. But at the moment it is just a future possibility.

Industrial ministry proposes to “shrink” the signals of the conventional broadcast
and concentrate the high defi nition ones. Adapted receivers will be needed.
Receptor Fte MAX T90 HD Receptor MAX T 115 HD Plus
Summary of Concepts about the redesign of the
sector:
- Analogue Switch off. In April 2012, with the total implementation
of the digital terrestrial TV, each one of the
6 private operators (Antena 3, Telecinco, Cuatro, La Sexta,
Veo TV and Net TV) received a multi channel. These
channels have capacity for four channels. Some operators
broadcast a high definition channel too in their wide band.
- High Defi nition. In front of the false high definition that
some channels were using, the Government imposed
some rules to the operators in order to respect a minimum
quality when broadcasting such signals.
- Digital Dividend. The Governments plans to give the
frequencies that are currently occupied by TV to the Mobile
telephones before 1st January 2014. This frequency’s
release is a process known as Digital Dividend.
- Antennas issue: The change of frequencies will force
the audiences to modify their collective antennas in order
to watch the programs.
“Only when we are able to differentiate between working as a team and a working
team we will be able to lead our organizations”.
