Designing and manufacturing in Santiago de Compostela gives us a competitive advantage, always one step ahead of the competition.

What does your job involve?

As Area Sales Manager for Televés’ international area, I coordinate commercial activity in different markets such as LATAM, Eastern Europe, Turkey and several African countries.

My work consists of analysing each market, defining strategies, detecting opportunities and supporting customers and distributors to strengthen the positioning of our solutions. It is a very dynamic role that combines business development, strategic vision and closeness to the customer.

How long have you been part of the company?

I joined Televés in June 2023. From the very beginning I have had the opportunity to grow professionally and develop in international markets thanks to the team’s support and trust.

What is the most satisfying part and the most complex part?

The most satisfying part is seeing an opportunity turn into business and building highly enriching professional relationships in international environments. The most complex part is adapting to the reality of each market, where very different cultural, regulatory and commercial factors come into play.

Which values would you highlight?

I would highlight closeness, technical capability and the commitment of the human team. In addition, designing and manufacturing in Santiago de Compostela allows us to guarantee quality, differentiation and a long-term vision focused on delivering real value to the customer.

The new A series, comprising A6, A6 MIX and A9, is a generation of intelligent antennas designed to meet the requirements of DVB-T2 television and new UHD content.

The new range combines adaptive electronics, optimised reception and highly durable mechanics to improve signal quality from the first reception point.

The evolution towards DVB-T2 broadcasts creates a more demanding scenario for terrestrial reception. The use of high-density modulations, such as 256-QAM, reduces the distance between symbols and increases sensitivity to noise and interference, making parameters such as MER (Modulation Error Rate) decisive for guaranteeing service stability. In this context, reception quality becomes more important than the signal level itself, because when MER degrades, increasing power through amplification is no longer enough to maintain stable reception.

To respond to this scenario, the new antennas integrate BOSS Tech technology with a TForce® chip, based on intelligent amplification with a very low noise figure directly at the dipole, the point where the signal retains its highest quality. By amplifying before the signal travels through the coaxial cable, added noise is minimised and the available MER at reception is significantly improved, a particularly critical aspect in DVB-T2 broadcasts.

The intelligent system automatically adjusts gain in real time to always maintain an optimal output level, adapting to variations caused by distance from the transmitter, weather conditions, terrain or current and future LTE/4G/5G interference. In addition, the high-selectivity SAW filter removes interference even at the upper edge of the TV band, ensuring signal integrity and compliance with RED regulations.

A6 series

The A6 series has been designed as a compact and versatile solution for conventional installations, in both urban and rural environments. It is available in its A6 version (ref. 14050X) for UHF, and A6 MIX (ref. 140501) for combined BIII + UHF reception with independent band regulation via a double TForce® chip, avoiding imbalances between signals. Its mechanical design also enables tool-free assembly in just 30 seconds for A6 and 1 minute for A6 MIX.

A9 series

The A9 series (ref. 140901) is aimed at demanding reception scenarios and areas far from the TV transmitter. Thanks to its high directivity and the electromechanical optimisation of the radiating assembly, it extends the coverage area by up to 35% compared with conventional models, facilitating the reception of weak signals without compromising quality.

The entire range is manufactured with high-strength and 100% stainless materials: aluminium structure, stainless-steel hardware, zamak clamp with anti-corrosion treatment and reinforced ABS plastics with UV protection and resistance to saline environments. The result is a solution designed to maintain its mechanical and electrical performance for decades even in adverse environments.

With the new A6 and A9 series, Televés brings its experience in intelligent electronics and reception design to the new DVB-T2 scenario, offering antennas prepared to maximise the signal quality required by current and future UHD broadcasts.

In a rack-based telecommunications installation, proper cable management not only improves the appearance of the cabinet, but also directly affects the efficiency, accessibility and reliability of the infrastructure. Well-organised cabling facilitates technical interventions, optimises internal ventilation and reduces the risk of errors during maintenance tasks or future expansions. Cable managers are a key element in any network infrastructure, as they guide and organise cabling inside the rack. Depending on the distribution of the equipment and the density of the installation, there are two main cable-management solutions: horizontal and vertical.

Horizontal cable managers organise cabling at the front of the rack, keeping cables visible and easily accessible. They are commonly used between patch-panels, switches and network equipment with a high concentration of patch cords, enabling clear management and quick access for maintenance or expansion.

Vertical cable managers route cabling along the sides of the rack, across its full height. By integrating into the sides, they free up the front of the rack, improve access to equipment and offer a more visually discreet solution. They are especially recommended in high-density installations or infrastructures with significant expected growth.

Although both systems fulfil the same function, the choice of one or the other depends on the type of installation and its needs:

Location

• Horizontal: at the front of the rack, between patch panels and switches.
• Vertical: on the sides of the rack, along its full height.

Recommended environments

• Horizontal: small or medium-sized installations, with low or medium cabling density.
• Vertical: large structured installations, with high cabling density.

Compatibility

• Horizontal: compatible with any 19” rack.
• Vertical: compatible with racks with available side space, normally at least 800 mm wide.

Accessibility and maintenance

• Horizontal: direct front access, simple cable management and replacement.
• Vertical: side access, more complex cable management.

Based on the selection criteria above, we define our recommendation on which cable manager is best suited to each installation:

• Horizontal cable managers: recommended for installations where priority is given to speed of access, ease of installation and cabling organisation by unit (U), facilitating an orderly visual distribution.
• Vertical cable managers: recommended for installations that require greater capacity, scalability and advanced cable management, integrating into the side of the rack, clearing the front space of the equipment and favouring ventilation.

In many professional installations, combining both elements makes it possible to achieve more efficient and scalable cable management.
