  • System and method for automated determination of satellite transceiver type
    Patent number: 11936464
    Abstract: A system and method enabling the automated installation and configuration of satellite system premises device. The system and method provide for tuning, locking and recognizing particular types of satellite system signals, and then responsively configuring and installing a premises device. The disclosed technology is capable of adapting to both one and two cable satellite premises systems, and is compatible with wideband low-noise block signals, as well as universal low-noise block and single-cable second-generation satellite signals.
    Type: Grant
