If you are interested in top-of-the-line KV and 6m equipment, you have definitely heard of Apache Labs Pty Ltd. ANAN-G2, a new generation of highly performant Software Defined Radio.
Advantages of ANAN-G2
Processing capability
ANAN-G2 is equipped with a powerful FPGA with an impressive processing capacity of 930 GMAC/s and a tightly integrated quad-core SoC. This significant computational power increases its ability to handle complex tasks and sophisticated signal processing algorithms needed to implement PureSignal, Diversity Reception, and the world's most advanced noise mitigation algorithms, such as NR2!
Flexible use cases
One of the main advantages of the ANAN-G2 system is its remarkable flexibility. While it provides exceptional receiver and transmitter performance similar to its predecessors, the G2 model takes a step forward by providing increased processing capacity, allowing it to handle a wide range of tasks and applications.
Independent operation
ANAN-G2 offers convenient standalone operation without the need for a connected computer. This feature provides flexibility in using the device in situations where computer connection may not be possible or necessary.
Compatibility with Thetis software
Users have the option to use ANAN-G2 with a computer running Thetis software. This compatibility enhances the device's usability by providing access to a comprehensive software package for control, signal processing, and visualization.
Remote station with a view to the future
The ANAN-G2 device is designed with hardware capabilities for remote control, although this feature is currently planned for a future release. This would allow users to control the device remotely, expanding its usability and convenience.
Rich input/output options
ANAN-G2 boasts a wide range of rich input/output options including two 4K HDMI video outputs, gigabit Ethernet, three USB ports, a 7-inch touchscreen display, and knobs/buttons for a traditional transceiver experience. This extensive set of input/output options ensures connectivity with various devices and accessories.
Transmit audio quality
The device is equipped with a balanced XLR microphone input with a built-in preamplifier, ensuring sound quality during transmission. This feature is beneficial for users striving for high-quality sound in their broadcasts. PureSignal ensures that your products Intermodulation distortion are much lower and do not cause any band dispersion, did you know that G2 has 20 dB better IMD than even Class A transmitters while maintaining the efficiency of Class AB construction.
