Instead of having a rack full of fixed-channel modulators, you can now have the efficiency, economy, and redundancy of agile modulators. Agile modulators give the ability to change the output channel whenever needed – and Multicom’s affordable agile modulators have come down to such a level that fixed-channel modulators can be a thing of the past.
