The PROMAX EA817 Universal Advanced Antenna Trainer is a comprehensive education system designed for teaching, the development of skills to installing and assembling, demonstration and practice of telecommunications infrastructure installations:

1. MATV (Master Antenna Television) Digital

2. SMATV (Satellite Master Antenna Television) Digital

The trainer is also prepared for the current regulations of Telecommunications Infrastructures. It is supplied with an actual installation assembled and configured.

Modular Design: Agile for the Student, Efficient for the Teacher

The EA-817 is a fully configurable trainer, based on a structure with whiteboard panels, consisting each one of two universal quick-fixing removable panels, which allows the student to install, configure, adjust, modify, and analyze any kind of actual MATV and SMATV installation.

The EA-817 universal plates are easily removable from the panels, so that the system proposed by the teacher can be divided among several groups of students and these can perform the assembly of the different parts of the installation in their workplaces allowing the simultaneous use of the trainer by a large group of students, without interfering each other.

Once the suitable elements for the practice have been assembled, the universal plates will be fixed on the whiteboard support in order to do the remaining electrical connections. Afterward, it may be programmed the Head-End equipment if it were required.

The System Can be Reconfigured and Expanded

The flexibility of the trainer allows the student to practice and check the effectiveness of different solutions for the proposed installation. Furthermore, faults, errors and the most common problems that the student will face in the real world can be reproduced.

If it were desired, the trainer system can also be expandable in the future with other modules that allow both the students and teachers going deeper in the new technologies and the ultra-fast access infrastructures (DVB-S2, Transmodulation, DTT Premium, IP-TV, Optical fibre, FTTx, etc.). Moreover, it can also be completed with an advanced transmission unit that enables to make very interesting practices about DTT actual signals, covering aspects as the TDT signal propagation, the Gap-Fillers, the transport stream generation (TS), familiarization with PID, PMT, NID, configuration and experimentation of the modulation parameters.

Quick-Fixing Removable Boards

The EA-817 fast fixation universal panels have a grooved surface in such a way that the disposition of the drills combined with the positioning of the nuts allows the fixation of all elements that compose a determined installation. After finishing the practice, the implemented installation can be quickly and easily disassembled in order to be ready to set a different installation.
