HBO Max、Discovery+合併最快這時間上線

In broadcast engineering, a panel antenna is a directional antenna that is widely used to obtain a wireless Internet connection.
Directional antennas receive and broadcast a signal in only one direction, resulting in better signal quality.
Panel antennas, for example, are used in underdeveloped countries to improve the range and functionality of wireless Internet networks.

A panel antenna is shaped like a panel and is typically fixed on a mounting bracket on the exterior or inside of a building. It can also be mounted on a swivel mount, allowing the user to adjust the antenna for optimal signal reception. This type of antenna is usually one-directional, with less mobility side-to-side and up-and-down than an omnidirectional antenna, which can swivel and entirely change its location. Two U-bolt brackets and waterproof were supplied in one piece of packing

串流平台Netflix面對用戶流失備感壓力，為了拓增財源也將從明年開始積極抓共享帳號，同時也已經推出帶有廣告的低價方案。不過未來仍眾多挑戰，因為華納媒體在今年6月正式與Discovery完成合併，預計在明年夏季將兩大OTT平台HBO Max及Discovery+合併。

Double Ridged Horn Antenna
Sort by:Select
The horn antenna is a broadband passive device, shaped like a pyramid horn, referred to as a TEM antenna, which guides the beam of radio waves at a precise frequency. FT-RF Double Ridged Horn antennas have frequency capabilities ranging from 400MHz to 40GHz depending on type and style. These series are characterized by a huge frequency range and extremely high input powers. With increasing frequency, the gain rises to a maximum of 18 dBi. At higher frequencies, the increased gain compensates for the increasing cable losses.

The advantages of Horn antenna:

- Wide bandwidth: Because the horn antenna has no resonant parts, it can function over a wide range of frequencies.

- Easy waveguide interface: These antennas are very easy to interface to waveguide due to their shape, but they can also be designed with a transition so that a regular coaxial feeder can be used.

- Easy to make, simple design.

The horn is suitable for both transmitting and receiving purposes, especially suitable for EMC and immunity test measurements.

Recommended Accessories

- Antenna Tripod: easy and fast-changing polarisation. 100% stable handling

- SMA Cable: High-quality special SMA cable

現在也有消息指出，因為HBO Max和 Discovery+的合併進展順利，原訂明年夏季才會推出的合併串流平台，會提早到明年春季，但合併後平台新名稱尚未公布，不過此舉也讓對手Netflix、Disney+等串流平台面臨搶訂閱數的新壓力。

目前Netflix、Disney+全球訂閱用戶數都已經超過2億；而HBO、HBO Max和Discovery+的訂閱總數約為9,210萬，雖然差距不少，不過由於Netflix平台上線已久，不少用戶已經對於內容感到疲乏，而Disney+則是主打兒童動畫、影片，若家中沒有小孩的用戶，對內容上恐較難長期保持興趣。現在HBO Max及Discovery+合併，則有助於提供串流平台新內容，對於消費者來說，內容除了多一個選擇，平台變多，各大串流的訂閱費用也能彼此制衡，不至於一次漲到天價去。
