In high-stakes environments-military bases, government facilities, secure infrastructure-signal failure isn’t an inconvenience. It’s a risk you can’t afford.

RF transmissions face relentless threats:

  • Jamming in conflict zones.
  • Electromagnetic interference from machinery or power lines.
  • Obstructions from terrain or urban structures.
  • Signal loss over long distances.

Boosting antennas isn’t enough. You need a transport method that’s immune to interference, secure from interception, and reliable in the harshest conditions.

The RF Over Fiber Advantage

RF over Fiber (RFoF) converts sensitive RF signals into light and transmits them over optical fiber—delivering unmatched resilience and security:

  • Immune to EMI – Perfect for ships, radar sites, and high-EMI zones.
  • Secure – Fiber is tough to tap without detection.
  • Long Range – Maintains quality over kilometers without degradation.
  • Lightweight & Flexible – Easier to deploy than copper cabling.

Trusted in the Field

From naval vessels to remote radar stations, RFoF powers:

  • Surveillance sensor links.
  • Satellite and bunker communications.
  • Extended radar coverage.
  • UAV control and telemetry.

When communications must be secure, uninterrupted, and crystal clear, RF over Fiber isn’t just better-it’s essential.
