MaxLinear debuted its MxL582 satellite receiver with extended L-band technology. The device is a dual-input radio frequency (RF) receiver “capable of receiving 2 GHz of extended L-band spectrum ... at each RF input,” MaxLinear said in a news release (http://bit.ly/K25plO). It allows operators to realize a significant reduction in the overall system cost and power consumption “associated with the rollout of next generation multi-channel gateway boxes and services,” it said. The receiver’s lower power also reduces the cost of gateway systems, it said.
