Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of a shared SMATV headend?

A shared headend receives and distributes the agreed television signals across a property. Reception equipment, distribution routes and outlet requirements should be planned together.

Which property details affect SMATV distribution planning?

The number of rooms or units, cable routes, distances and existing distribution equipment affect the design. Share drawings and outlet locations when defining the brief.

How is a SMATV upgrade assessed?

Reception quality, headend equipment, amplifiers, cabling and outlets should be reviewed. The required television services and distribution coverage then help define the upgrade scope.
