Key Features & Capabilities

Fully Automated Cell Processing

·         Receives the complete broadcast stack with zero operator input beyond frequency and sample rate.

·         Automatically detects cells, tracks internal clocks, and follows the broadcast schedule.

·         Supports both unicast-mixed and broadcast-only carrier configurations.

Broad Transport & Modulation Support

·         Supports multiple modulations including QPSK, 16-QAM, and 64-QAM.

·         Flexible carrier bandwidths ranging from 15 to 40 resource blocks.

Flexible Content Delivery & Routing

·         Delivers content in universally compatible formats for immediate playback.

·         Multicast Re-injection: Re-transmits video onto the network exactly as broadcast so players can join directly.

·         Versatile Output: Supports UDP single-player relays, direct .ts file writing, or saved FLUTE file downloads.

·         Multi-Service Handling: Demuxes and independently routes multiple services carried on a single carrier.

Public Warning System (PWS)

·         Enabled by default with no extra license tier required.

·         Decodes and reports CMAS and ETWS emergency alerts when they go on air and when they clear.

Production-Grade Operation & Observability

·         Built for real-world deployment rather than static demonstrations.

·         Full HTTP API with live event streams, Prometheus metrics, and a published OpenAPI specification (26 resources).

Field Coverage & Survey Tools

·         Built-in drive-test survey exporting to a spreadsheet at 1-second intervals (logged continuously regardless of decode success).

·         Tracks cumulative signal quality, error rates, carrier offset, and media timing for immediate visibility of changes.
