Model Number: NGM-21-S5S5RF Engineeringand Custom BuildNEXT GENERATIONNiGMa Matrix Router32 x 32 L-band signal routing evolves to new heightsETL’s popular high performanceNiGMa L-band distributive matrixevolves to set new benchmarks forRF performance and leadingedge technologies.The next generation of NiGMamatrix focuses on improvedresilience and performance theimpact of failure is minimisedthroughout the unit.Front View of Model NGM-21 showing touchscreen VGAAs ETL customers use matrices in mission-critical applications, we understand theimportance of redundancy and hot swap. Input and output cards, power supplies, CPUcontroller cards, fans and the new VGA human interface can all be hot swapped.New Matrix design means there is one card associated with each input and eachoutput – so failure of a card only affects one channel. For broadcasters, satelliteoperators and the defence sector, this provides exceptional resilience. The refineddesign offers rugged dual redundant power supplies with simple front access,enhanced CPU change-out, hot-swap fans and new card connectors. Web BrowserInterface is standard on an NGM-21.Improved RF performance of the NiGMa which provides superior Isolation, frequencyresponse or flatness, and 1 dB GCP levels – helping our customers ensure that theiro v e r a l l R F c h a i n s i g n a l p e r f o r m a n c e i s o p t i m i s e d .Self Diagnostics with continuous monitoring (and reporting) of amplifier status, PSUstatus (including temperature), fan speed and internal communications is included asstandard. Any problems are rapidly identified and hot swap means they can beaddressed in minutes.V 4.1 E&OE

Model Number: NGM-21-S5S5NiGMa L-band Matrix RouterRF Engineeringand Custom BuildResilienceResilience is designed-inThe NiGMa matrix has been designed with resilience in mind. The impact ofcomponent failure is minimised and all active components can be hot swapped.Problems are rapidly identified and can be easily sorted out.Minimal impact from card failureOne card per input and one card per outputmean that the impact of card failure isminimised. Cards can be hot-swapped, and hotexpansion can take place in single increments.Minimal impact from CPU failureThe matrix contains dual redundant CPU’s whichboth operate in parallel. If one CPU fails theother automatically becomes the master. CPU’scan be hot-swapped.Minimal impact from PSU failureDual redundant PSU’s can be hot-swapped.Rapid diagnosis of problemsThe matrix continuously monitors the conditionsof amplifiers, CPUs and PSUs. Any faults areimmediately reported through the front paneland remotely. Alarms report the specific faultsdown to component level.V 4.1 E&OE
