Assembly and hand spot check
Components are placed automatically, then the assembly is spot-checked by hand — mainboard, case, panel and finish are all part of the check.

Inside the headend
factory in Guangzhou
What stands behind the FUQ line: the production floor, the test benches, the routine every unit goes through before it is packed, what can be built to your market, and how to come and see it for yourself.
If you are qualifying a supplier rather than choosing a model, this page andthe company facts on the about pageare the two documents to read together: the numbers here are the ones we will put in writing with your quotation.
Hanxing builds cable TV and IPTV headend equipment in Guangzhou, China, on its own 15,893 m² production site, manufacturing headend and transmission equipment since 1994. Units are assembled, aligned and burn-in tested in house, then packed on site. Equipment has shipped to customers in more than 200 countries.

What is built on this site?
Nine product lines, 190 published models. Each line is a stage of the same signal chain — the model pages carry the datasheet for the individual unit.
| Product line | Models | What it does in the chain |
|---|---|---|
| Modulator / Modem | 45 | Puts an already encoded transport stream onto an RF carrier — DVB-T, DVB-C, QAM, ATSC or ISDB-T. |
| Encoder | 28 | Turns baseband video and audio (HDMI, SDI, CVBS) into MPEG transport streams the IP network can carry. |
| Encoder Modulator | 26 | Encodes and modulates in one chassis, for coax networks that need no separate IP stage. |
| IRD / Decoder / Transcoder | 21 | Receives a satellite or terrestrial feed and hands it on as baseband video or as a re-muxed stream. |
| Other Devices | 21 | The devices that hold a headend together: capture cards, TS analysers, ASI distributors and switches. |
| IP Gateway | 20 | Converts between the IP side of a headend and its ASI or RF legs: tuner to multicast, ASI to IP and back. |
| Multiplexer / Scrambler | 15 | Merges single-programme streams into an MPTS, re-maps PIDs and regenerates PSI/SI tables. |
| Transmitter / Receiver | 10 | The transmission stage: DVB-T exciters and amplifiers, and FM stereo transmitters. |
| Software & Systems | 4 | EPG generation, IPTV server and middleware, and subscriber management that run alongside the hardware. |

How is a headend unit built here?
Five stages, in order — the same routine whether the unit is a single chassis or a rack that fills a small headend.
Core component review
The core components are checked and re-checked against the datasheet for omissions and errors before a unit is allowed to move on.
RF alignment and function test
The RF stages are aligned and measured on our own benches, so the figures published on the model page describe the unit that is standing on the bench.
72-hour burn-in
RF technicians run each unit for 72 hours. The point is to catch the fault that only appears after a day of running, not the one that appears on the bench.
Packing, quantity check, dispatch
Units are packed for transport, the quantities and the buyer’s address are checked, and the fastest available collection is booked.
How do you know the unit is right before it ships?
A headend unit fails on site, not on the bench — so the test that matters is the one that runs long enough for a marginal part to show itself. That is what the burn-in bay is for, and it is the last stop before packing.
- Assembly spot check. Mainboard, case, panel and finish are checked by hand.
- Datasheet review. Core components are re-checked against the datasheet that will travel with the model, so a unit cannot ship with an omission the documentation does not describe.
- RF alignment. The RF stages are measured on our own benches before the unit goes to burn-in.
- 72-hour run. RF technicians watch the unit for three days — long enough to expose the fault that only appears after a day of running.
- Packing check. Quantities and the buyer's address are verified against the order before collection is booked.
What we cannot state here, we do not state: parameters are taken from the datasheet issued for the model. If a detail is not in the documentation, ask and we will confirm it on the production line rather than guess.
What does the production floor look like on a working day?
Photographs taken on the floor rather than staged: built units waiting their turn on the test benches, the assembly and test hall itself, cabinet build-up open on the bench, a unit being strapped at the packing station, wiring dressed inside an open cabinet, subrack assemblies going together on pallets, and finished cabinets staged on the aisle. The aisles, benches and racks in them are the ones a visiting buyer walks through.
What can be built to your market?
The line is not sold in one configuration only. These are the things buyers change most often, and where each one is documented.
| Standard | Models | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| DVB-T / DVB-T2 | 19 | Terrestrial digital TV, from single channels to transmitter drive. |
| DVB-C | 28 | Cable networks — QAM output on coax. |
| DVB-S / DVB-S2 | 18 | Satellite reception, IRDs and satellite turn-around. |
| ISDB-T | 6 | The Japanese / South American terrestrial standard. |
| ATSC | 8 | The North American terrestrial standard. |
| QAM / J.83 | 46 | Cable modulation, the densest part of the modulator line. |
- Broadcast standard. Tell us the standard your market transmits and we work from the models that were built for it — the counts above come from this catalogue, not from a brochure.
- Channel count. The chassis range from a single channel to 64 channels, with up to 48 HDMI inputs where the application needs that density.
- Branding and packaging. Custom branding on the unit and on the packaging is possible on this line.
- Software configuration. EPG, IPTV server and middleware configuration — EPG systems in this catalogue scale to 2044 transport streams.
- Compliance documents. CE, RoHS and other declarations are requested for the specific model when your market needs them.
- Terms. Minimum quantities and lead time for custom work are confirmed per model with your quotation. There is no blanket MOQ and no published list price.
