Amb-OS satellite transponder move next week
Just a reminder that on Tuesday, July 21, 2020 at approximately 14:35:00 Eastern, we will be moving our satellite service from transponder 7 (h-pol down) to transponder 23 (h-pol down) of SES-2. This move is necessary to accommodate the FCC’s re-allocation of spectrum originally devoted to fixed satellite services to future 5G networking enterprises. This move involves AMB-OS only - other networks utilizing the CRC carrier will establish their own migration plan & timetable in coming days. We’ve already moved to transponder 23 a few stations who were experiencing reception issues on transponder 7 – those stations are now seeing less interference at the new frequency and symbolrate.Here's a link to details:http://www.amb-os.com/pdfs/Transponder_Change_2020.pdfWe highly recommend that you peak your satellite antenna once the transition has been completed next week. This will mean making sure your antenna is delivering maximum signal while adjusting azimuth and elevation, along with “nulling” the cross-polarization of your LNB, eliminating adjacent transponder interference. The potential x-pol interferors are different on the two transponders, and if not properly “nulled” these could negatively affect your system performance, especially in the coming days as more signals are added to the satellite payload.
