Peak Communications was formed in 1995 and began by manufacturing the P701 L band frequency downconverter. The addition of the Upconverter module in 1996 enabled Peak Communications to produce the P702 L band upconverter and then also the P700 L band Up/Down converter in a single 1RU. Over time the product range has increased to include 19" rack mount and remote mount block up and down converters covering the main satellite operating frequencies including X, C and Ku Bands. The integration of these block converters into a P700 converter facilitated full frequency conversion from IF to SHF via L band. In 2003 the P7000 range of converters was launched to supersed the P700 range.

1:4 to 1:8 Redundancy Switch Units for the IBU/IBD series
The redundancy switch unit can monitor and control up to 8 IBU/IBD series converters plus 1 standby unit, to provide full system redundancy. Channel priority can be preset to ensure that high priority traffic is maintained. The RCU also incorporates input and output switching to fully isolate individual channels to ensure that any defective converter can be replaced without any disruption to signal transmission.
The RCU is a 4U high 19” rack mount unit with a full front panel system mimic, graphics display module and membrane keyboard which provides clear intuitive control and monitoring. The RCU can be controlled from the front panel or by the RS232/RS485 link to a host computer.
