There are many ways to receive television and radio programmes via a shared distribution system - each of them with specific advantages and disadvantages. Headend technology with channel processing is a very cost-effective alternative, especially for apartment blocks, office buildings, hotels, guest houses, hospitals, retirement homes, etc. with their small to medium-sized distribution systems.
Thanks to careful construction and the use of high-quality components, POLYTRON headends are extremely durable and fail-safe. The design, optimised for low consumption, also results in low energy consumption and therefore lower electricity costs, which further increases the cost-effectiveness of the investment in view of many years of continuous operation.
