EADS Defense & Security Systems approached Cornet Switching Systems to provide the Baseband Switching requirements at UK Satellite Ground Stations (SGSs) as part of the modernisation of the UK Governments communications facilities.
Together with EADS, Cornet Switching Systems installed four major MTX 256 matrix switches, at two SGSs, together with various system test and development switches at other UK locations. The Skynet 5 satellites are capable of beaming communications signals between MOD headquarters in the UK and British forces deployed around the world. They are also used in the field of welfare services to enable a free message service for service personnel, family and friends. The Skynet 5 Satellites are the most powerful military X band satellites launched to date by any nation and will allow high data rates to be available to small and disadvantaged terminals, typically used as ‘first in’ for disaster and rescue operations as well as military missions. The contract includes the provision of ongoing support services. |

AB Switches/Protection Switches
The Cornet Switching Systems Intelligent Protection Switches (IPS) are high bit-rate, high-bandwidth, electromechanical, 32 channel digital, analog and optical fibre A/B and A/B/C switches.
-
Matrix Switch
For efficient cable reduction and error-free operation consider the Cornet Switching Systems Port Concentrator Unit (PCU) that functions as either a matrix interface or a cable concentrator.
-
Matrix Switch
MTX-1 is a 16-port, and the MTX-2 a 32-port high-speed, non-blocking, digital matrix switch that packs the same functionality of larger MTX series systems into a compact, space-saving chassis.
-
Matrix Switch
In the MTX-256, Cornet Switching Systems combines unparalleled interface and speed support with a space efficiency no other matrix switch system can rival. With its compact switching engine, the MTX-256 requires only one standard equipment rack to support 2048 ports. A fully expanded system occupies half the engine space of a traditional matrix switch.
-
Video
Cornet offers a range of video encoders and decoders, from software, to rackmounted hardware through to fully ruggedised field units. Our systems support a range of MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and H.264 codecs.
-
AB Switches/Protection Switches
However reliable a piece of network equipment is, there is always a chance that something will fail. When continuous network equipment uptime is an absolute necessity, Cornet Switching Systems' Router Protection Switch (RPS-24) provides that extra bit of security.
