Instead of having technicians running from site to site, moving cables, use the Swing Box. The Swing Box does the work of many technicians, in a fraction of the time, with 100% consistency. One person can do the work of twenty, twenty four seven. That’s right, and it’s simple, too. Just mount the Swing Box at a site, or many sites.

Connect the antenna lines, T1 lines, and data lines to the unit just one time. Now, when you’re ready to test, you can use a dial-up line, or wireless subscriber line to switch too and from the new and old equipment in an instant. And better yet, you can control multiple sites, simultaneously. The SB1 RF-T1 Switch System allows automated, remote switching of antenna and T1 systems via (PSTN) dial-up or pager access. The box is intended to be used whenever new radio base station equipment is being installed to replace existing equipment. Using state-of-the-art technology, the system has been designed to be installed and removed with minimal effort. In most cases, less than sixty minutes are required for initial installation. The basic system consists of one main control unit supporting multiple RF relay boxes. The main control unit, SB1-MCU, is designed to be mounted within the same rack as existing DSX equipment. The T1’s from both new and existing equipment are patched through the unit’s front panel jacks using standard mini bantam plugs. Each control unit can switch up to three T1’s. In situations where it is necessary to switch more than three T1’s, up to five control units can be connected together in a master/slave configuration. The main control unit also controls the remote SB1-RFB RF relays, which are connected using standard 8 conductor RJ45 jacks. One daisy-chained cable connects the relays and up to 12 relay boxes can be controlled by the main control unit. Each RF relay is designed to be mounted directly to a main feeder (RX or TX) and jumpers from both the new and existing systems are connected to the relay box using standard N type connectors. Each RF relay box is rated for 800 MHz to 2 GHz operation and can handle up to 800 watts (@ 800 MHz). Jumper cables are available for situations where bulkheads are congested and there is little room for direct mounting.
