Wideband 10 MHz-3 GHz

The ViaLite Wideband RF over fiber link has a 10 MHz-3 GHz  bandwidth.  The link can be used to connect satellite antennas with control rooms, network operation centers or broadcast headends at both IF (70/140) and L-Band HTS.  They can also be used to transport cellular, TETRA and WiMax signals into buildings, as well as HF, UHF and VHF signals.

• 50 Ohm
• Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint architectures available
• WDM and CWDM options
• Transmits any RF signal – regardless of modulation scheme
• Transmission distances of 1 m to 50 km
• Interfaces with monitor and control (M&C) systems for remote monitoring

  Ultra-wide dynamic range

  One of the link’s key features is its ultra-wide dynamic range. This allows wider bandwidths to be transmitted including the entire 700-2450 MHz.  For High Throughput Satellites (HTS), typical bandwidths are 500 and 800 MHz.

   

  Manned from a control room

  ViaLiteHD links can be controlled remotely using SNMP or Ethernet, as well as other Ethernet-controlled equipment such as the antenna, converters or amplifiers.  This allows multiple antennas to be controlled over fiber from a control room.

   

  Further features and benefits:

  • Reduced spares.

  In satcom, the 10 MHz-3 GHz bandwidth is compatible with both 70/140 IF and L-Band HTS signals – minimizing spares requirement.

  Other link options include the ViaLite Ultra Wideband link at 2 kHz – 4.2 GHz.
