Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. (BDR) is a technology development and manufacturing company that specializes in providing television (TV) signal solutions across the United States. It delivers a comprehensive suite of products and solutions encompassing TV signal encoding, transcoding, digital transport, and broadband technologies. The company's encoder and transcoder offerings support resolutions from standard definition up to 4K/ultra-high definition, compatible with various compression standards like MPEG-2, MPEG-4/H.264, and HEVC/H.265, as well as QPSK, 8PSK, and QAM transcoding. Blonder Tongue also provides NXG IP digital video processing and headend products, designed for applications such as IPTV format conversions and simulcast use cases. Its coaxial distribution product line includes broadband amplifiers, directional taps, splitters, and wall outlets. These components are crucial for maintaining strong audio/video signal strength, whether mounted on exterior utility poles or secured in pedestals/vaults for cable television systems, or concealed within building walls for small-to-medium business (SMB) installations. The company's Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) portfolio features Android-based IPTV set-top boxes. Additionally, Blonder Tongue offers digital modulation products, including the Aircaster™ series of ATSC, QAM, and IP trans-modulators, enabling users to create channel lineups from off-air and/or cable feeds for coaxial IP distribution. It also provides Edge QAM devices that accept Ethernet input, capture MPEG over IP transport streams, decrypt service provider conditional access or content protection, and insert proprietary conditional access. Further product categories include DOCSIS data products, analog modulation, fiber optic solutions, and other miscellaneous offerings. Beyond its hardware offerings, the company provides service level agreements (SLAs) and other services, along with test and measurement instruments and contract manufacturing capabilities. Established in 1950, Blonder Tongue is headquartered in Old Bridge, New Jersey.
