Las Vegas, NV and Old Bridge, N.J. — April 17, 2023 — Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: BDRL), a leading US-based designer and manufacturer of telecommunications, broadband, and fiber optic transmission technologies, announced today its best-selling transmodulators, the Aircaster® AQT8 Series, will now offer SRT Error Correction for Remote IP/QAM Applications.

The newly implemented SRT transmit functionality allows the Aircaster AQT8 transmodulators to be used at remote receive sites. This configuration supports secondary or redundant program ingest capability and enables operators to receive fringe stations more clearly from remote receiver locations.

“Blonder Tongue is committed to reducing our customers’ overall system cost with innovation and ingenuity,” said Tim Buck, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing. “SRT is a great option that enables remote equipment deployment without the expense of dedicated fiber and provides the ultimate flexibility to the transport capabilities of the Aircaster AQT8 series.”

The addition of SRT to the Aircaster AQT8 series follows along with Blonder Tongue’s previously announced Clearview HDMI2 QAM IP and Clearview HD2X QAM IP encoders. The addition of SRT across Blonder Tongue’s product offerings will give Broadcasters the ability to process programs safely across the public Internet for point-to-point applications. These SRT-enabled devices can effectively reduce the costs of dedicated fiber backhauling, while also allowing operators the flexibility they need to provide redundant sources, eliminating single point of failure concerns as well.
