Installing and distributing satellite and aerial signals throughout buildings that have multiple receivers requires a company with both knowledge and experience.One Degree West offer a variety of methods, these are explained in detail below;

MATV – Master Antenna TV System
For more many years communal aerial systems have been designed using a configuration known as “tree and Branch” and a variant known as 'loop' In these systems, signals are received via a shared antenna, amplified by a head end amplifier and distributed through a distribution cable to sub-feeds connected to each system outlet. 'Loop' systems are similar in design except that cables are looped through the outlets.

Screening levels in older communal systems are often insufficient for consistently reliable reception of digital services.

SMATV – Satellite Master Antenna TV System
As MATV, but includes satellite signals from central satellite head end.

IRS – Integrated Reception Systems
IRS uses a system configuration known as 'star-wire'; co-axial sub-feeds run from each system outlet to one or more common locations, creating a direct connection between each outlet and the system electronics.

For larger sites, a cabled backbone is used to extend the star wire configuration.

Star-wired systems have fewer connections between each outlet and the system electronics than other system configurations and are typically more reliable and easier to maintain than systems built to older designs.

When planning a large scale commercial installation, planning the project is the key to success. RF digital has years of experience and knows the most efficient ways of developing multi-point aerial installations.

Networks throughout the system are integral, planning cable routes, containment, outlet locations, slave outlets, outlet types and in house networks. The location of the Antennae also requires great planning with both technical and mechanical requirements, safe access for installation and maintenance and the general aesthetics.
