Wire infrastructure deployment

The semiconductor group Entropic, and Prime Electronics & Satellitics, a manufacturer of advanced digital satellite communication and wireless consumer electronic products, have deployed a single-cable wire infrastructure, based on Entropic's channel stacking switch (CSS). Prime's LNB with the Entropic EN5288 CSS technology allows DBS operators to support a single satellite, four tuners, and multiplex over-the-air (OTA) terrestrial

signals through a single cable. DBS service providers can thus deliver HD programming and services to multiple rooms in the home from one satellite dish with plug-and-play STB installation. The EN5288 is Entropic's third-generation analog CSS silicon solution. The EN5288 is a two-input, two-user channel output CSS service for DBS television applications, and works in an input frequency range of 950MHz to 2,150MHz.
