BDR Blonder Tongue Laboratories Inc

Further expanding its digital transmission offering, Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. (AMEX:BDR) introduces the new Agile QAM Modulator or AQM. The AQM modulates an Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASI) digital input signal with Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) and upconverts it to an RF output on any CATV channel. The AQM is a compact, high-performance solution for the digital cable television headend. The AQM integrates an advanced QAM modulator with an exceptionally low noise upconverter with optimized output stability. The QAM modulator utilizes the latest integrated circuit technology to support common symbol constellations of 64 and 256 QAM, as well as next generation technology of 512 & 1024 QAM. It is the first commercially available QAM modulator in the market to support 1024-QAM. It uses the standard Blonder Tongue micro-modular rack chassis and power supply, allowing it to coexist with existing equipment. The integrated modulator/upconverter eliminates multiple interconnects, thereby improving reliability and ease of use. Other optional AQM versions available include a parallel LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) input version and an IF (Intermediate Frequency) output version. Blonder Tongue President, Bob Palle stated, "We are proud to be a pioneer in developing a product for the cable television industry that embraces advanced technology like 512 and 1024 QAM. Not only can the AQM be used in digital headends, but also in the laboratory environment in next generation testing." Mr. Palle continued, "This product is another example of Blonder Tongue's tradition of developing high performance products at extremely affordable prices."
