Description of Addvantage Technologies Group Inc's Business Segments
Cable TV Segment
We offer our customers a wide range of new, surplus-new and refurbished products
across the leading OEM suppliers in the industry that are used in connection
with video, telephone and internet data signals.
Headend Products – Headend products are used by a system operator for
signal acquisition, processing and manipulation for further transmission. Among
the products we offer in this category are satellite receivers (digital and
analog), integrated receiver/decoders, demodulators, modulators, antennas and
antenna mounts, amplifiers, equalizers and processors. The headend of a television
signal distribution system is the “brain” of the system; the central
location where the multi-channel signal is initially received, converted and
allocated to specific channels for distribution. In some cases, where the signal
is transmitted in encrypted form or digitized and compressed, the receiver will
also be required to decode the signal.
Fiber Products – Fiber products are used to transmit the output of cable
system headend to multiple locations using fiber-optic cable. In this category,
we currently offer products including optical transmitters, fiber-optic cable,
receivers, couplers, splitters and compatible accessories. These products convert
radio frequencies to light frequencies and launch them on optical fiber. At
each receiver site, an optical receiver is used to convert the signals back
to radio frequencies for distribution to subscribers.
Access and Transport Products – Access and transport products are used
to permit signals to travel from the headend to their ultimate destination in
a home, apartment, hotel room, office or other terminal location along a distribution
network of fiber-optic or coaxial cable. Among the products we offer in this
category are transmitters, receivers, line extenders, broadband amplifiers,
directional taps and splitters.
Customer Premise Equipment (“CPE”) – CPE includes digital
converters and modems that are boxes placed inside the home that receive, record
and transmit video, data and telephony signals. They are the primary interface
equipment between the cable operator and the consumer.
Test Equipment – Test equipment is used in the set-up, signal testing
and maintenance of electronic equipment and the overall support of the cable
television system. Test equipment is vital in maintaining the proper function
and efficiency of this electronic equipment, which helps to provide high quality
video, telephone and high speed data to the end user.
Hardware Equipment – We also inventory and sell to our customers other
hardware such as connector and cable products.
We also offer repair services for most brands of cable equipment at our eight
service centers.
Telco Segment
We offer our customers a wide range of new and used telecommunication equipment
across most major manufacturers consisting primarily of component parts to expand
capacity, provide spares or replace non-working components.
Central Office Equipment – Central office equipment includes optical,
switching, and data equipment on a customer’s communication network. Optical
equipment products aggregate and transport internet traffic, switching equipment
products originate, terminate and route voice traffic, and data equipment products
transport internet and voice over internet protocol (“VOIP”) traffic
via routers.
Customer Premise Equipment – CPE includes integrated access devices,
channel banks and routers that are placed inside the customer site that will
receive the communication signal from the communication services provider.
In addition, we offer our customers decommissioning services for surplus and
obsolete equipment, which we then process through our Responsible Recycling
(“R2”)-certified recycling program.
