wcom Launches Dual-Channel FM0 for FM Demodulation, Backup and FM RDS Monitoring

2wcom has just launched its new FM02 FM Receiver Solution that combines the functionality for the multiple roles of demodulation, source-switching for FM backup, and FM/RDS parameter monitoring.

Encapsulating 2wcoms expertise in FM and RDS monitoring into a single unit, the FM02 can be used in a variety of ways to meet a range of broadcasting scenarios. The dual-channel capability allows the unit to receive one FM signal for re-broadcasting, while monitoring a second FM signal with the second tuner; or to receive the same signal on both tuners with one acting as a backup. A very high-quality FM tuner is key to the FM02s specification, providing it with substantially better FM performance than is typical in competing demodulator products.

For source-switching in a backup solution, the FM02 receives an MPX signal and loops it through directly to the output. In case of failure the FM02 uses its tuner as a back-up solution to receive the MPX signal off the air. Robust performance is provided by the units ability to loop through the signal even during a power failure. Extending the versatility of the unit still further, the FM02 can be used as part of a monitoring solution for both FM and RDS parameters.

Offering easy remote control via IP and snmp, the FM02 also offers remote audio quality monitoring through its built-in mp3 streaming capability.

Like many of the products we have developed recently in response to customer requests, the FM02 is a sophisticated device that can be used in so many different ways, said Werner Drews, managing director of 2wcom. A high degree of versatility is very valuable to customers today, because it saves investment and operational costs, and accommodates a wide variety of network configurations and strategies, and the ability to make network changes without further cost.

The FMC02 is a 19 unit with dual tuners and dual antenna inputs.
