7R.L. Drake Company Overview
- Drake has been a manufacturer of electronic
communications equipment since 1943. Drake
produces products and solutions for cable
television systems, ADA assistive listening,
video signal distribution, and digital television
reception. Drake and Dracom brand products are
utilized and available worldwide. - The R.L. Drake Company is a privately held
company located in Franklin, Ohio. The company
was founded in 1943 by Robert L. Drake, a young
engineer with a significant background in radio
design for major industry concerns. The company
began as a manufacturer of low pass and high pass
filters for the government and amateur radio
market. After World War II, the company applied
its engineering expertise to the consumer market
and started producing amateur or "ham" radio
transmitters and receivers. - The preferred product of many amateur radio buffs
and celebrities, the company's amateur products
soon became known as the "Cadillacs" of the ham
radio field. Many of the Drake receivers,
transmitters, and transceivers manufactured in
the fifties, sixties, and seventies are still in
active use today. Several of the products, built
in "limited" quantities, are considered very
"rare". Collectors and Drake aficionados will
often pay twice the original market price to add
such an item to their "Ham Shack". - Drake continued to search for new areas to apply
its engineering expertise, even as they expanded
their product line with marine radios and other
reception hardware. In 1981, Drake investigated
the then semi-hobbyist field of home satellite
reception equipment. Drake engineers, under the
leadership of founder's son Peter Drake,
completed a prototype satellite receiver in just
four months. - The demand for satellite receivers in the 1980's
was overwhelming, convincing Drake to concentrate
primarily on the development and manufacture of
satellite communications equipment. This
development led to the manufacture of commercial
satellite receivers and distribution equipment,
as well as reception equipment for the
international marketplace. - In 1997 Drake brought its expertise in the RF
communications field to the assistive listening
market. The transmitter/personal receiver system
was put into production to help the hearing
impaired participate in venues where traditional
hearing aids amplify all sounds, causing
distortion or reverberation of the source audio.
8R.L. Drake Company Overview
- In 1998 Drake introduced video modulators in
miniature. Having produced 19 inch rack equipment
for the CATV industry for several years, Drake
sensed the need for smaller equipment, as cable
"head-ends" are typically remote buildings where
space is a commodity. The VMM-600, one of the
video mini-modulators, is a high quality fixed
channel heterodyne audio/video modulator that
allows one to twelve units to be mounted in the
same amount of rack space required by two
standard size units. - In 2001, Drake took the mini-modular system one
step further and introduced a complete line of
digital head-end products. The mini-modular
approach offers the ability to QAM modulate
digital signals onto a cable system using MPEG
video, QPSK satellite signals, or off-air ATSC
transmissions. Mini-modules are offered that can
translate off-air ATSC signals to cable in either
ATSC or QAM format. - 2002, marked the introduction of the SCT860
transcoder . The SCT860, satellite to cable
transcoder, places the digital satellite
receiver, QAM remodulator, and channel
upconverter in a single convenient modular
package for QAM delivery of HITS-QT or DISH
Network programming. An RS232 data connection
allows the entire system to be remotely
controlled by a personal computer. - In 2004, several new and innovative products were
added to the digital transcoder product line. The
DQT860 provides a means of multiplexing two off
air 8VSB signals or QAM signals into a single
CATV channel for a CATV system. The MQM860 will
multiplex two ATSC ASI transport streams in the
same manner as the DQT860. The QQP860 is
essentially a single input DQT860 and is used for
DOCSIS data applications where no change in data
rate or timing is desired. - In 2005, the SCT860 digital transcoder was
expanded to the SCT1860, SCT2860, SCT3860,
SCT4860. These four models allow transcoding of
QPSK or 8PSK satellite signals, from 16 QAM to
1024 QAM output. - Presently, Drake manufactures a wide range of
video distribution equipment and cable television
equipment in both the standard rack size and the
mini-modules. Drake also builds complete CATV
head-ends, equipment racks of digital and analog
equipment cabled, and tested, ready to connect to
a power source and a satellite signal. - The assistive listening systems for consumer and
commercial markets are also manufactured at the
Franklin, Ohio plant. Drake products are
manufactured not only for US markets, but for
global markets as well. - Sales and Manufacturing Facilities
- The company's main manufacturing facility is
located in Franklin, Ohio in a modern brick
structure just under 100,000 square feet. Drake's
vertically integrated manufacturing facility
produces Drake equipment under one roof. Very
little outside contract work is performed so
products can be monitored to meet Drake standards
of excellence. Drake also has a sales, service,
and distribution facility in Peterborough,
Canada.
