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 2wcom's 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 FM02's 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 unit's 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.
