SMS Preracked HeadendSMS produces high quality custom preracked headends. We are much more than a rack-and-stack company. Because we are licensed programming distributors, not only will we balance and test the headend, but we will also pre-authorize each channel so that the rack is plug-and play-right out of the crate. This will save you hours of tedious authorization time.

Our finished product is exactly that: finished in detail. We take great pride in the functionality of our racks, but we are also sticklers on the aesthetics. Each rack is painstakingly built with the highest level of detail; for example, each wire is color coded to make it easy to follow. Even though you may think that these details do not matter because customers may not see the racks, we know that the “finish” of each rack reflects your professionalism for those who do see it.
