Future-proof RF Infrastructure for Evolving Industry Needs
As the satcoms industry embraces IP-based workflows and virtualisation, operators will need infrastructure that can deliver performance, scalability, and faultless resilience across an ever-growing range of applications. Whether supporting UHD video contribution or secure data networks, RF systems must handle greater bandwidth and higher frequencies, as well as navigating complex hybrid environments. ETL Systems is helping operators meet these demands through modular, redundant RF architectures that streamline both cost and maintenance burdens, and reduce service disruptions.
Our integrated rack solutions, pre-tested and configured for you, ensure smooth deployment and long-term system interoperability. With expanded capabilities in high power amplifiers for the satellite uplink chain, ETL can support both high-frequency and multi-band operations essential for next-gen use cases like remote broadcasting and high-capacity gateways. The shift towards Digital IF/RF over IP is also accelerating. ETL is at the forefront of this movement, enabling a compact and versatile digitisation platform ideal for mobile and edge operations. As the satcoms ecosystem evolves, ETL Systems remains a trusted RF partner, building infrastructure equipped to meet tomorrow’s challenges.

Meeting the call to grow and secure European defense manufacturing
The return of large-scale combat in Europe has spurred a new era of defense investment. At the 2025 NATO Summit, member nations aimed to increase defense spending targets to 5 percent of GDP—a level of commitment unseen since the Cold War. This generational opportunity for the European Defense Industrial Base (DIB) hinges on three core strategies: leveraging capital, forming strategic partnerships, and modernizing the digital tools to manage scaled-up production.
