Satellite Antenna Site Diversity
The Challenge:
To provide multi-channel RF-linkage to remotely located earth stations for site diversity to mitigate the impact of adverse weather conditions.
The Solution:
Global Foxcom’s RF Over Fiber (RFOF) Platinum series was deployed to transfer satellite signals to mirrored teleports at distances in excess of 100km.
Turnkey Benefits of Global Foxcom’s RFOF Solutions
Using FIBER rather than coax cables has multiple advantages
Distance
Transmits signals over distances of 100km without signal degradation
Flexible
Lightweight & flexible
Unlimited Bandwidth
Operates without optical loss at any bandwidth
Immune to EMI/RFI
Does not conduct electricity. It is safe during lightening/electrical storms
Security
No optical leakage
Cost Effective
Most cost effective medium for transporting signals
RF Over Fiber Advantages
- Fiber can transmit signals over distances of 100km without single degradation.
- Fiber is lightweight, flexible, and has less optical loss than coax cables.
- Fiber has unlimited bandwidth.
- Fiber does not conduct electricity, so it cannot be damaged during electrical / lightning storms.
- Fiber tapping does not occur because optical leakages do not exist in the system.
- Fiber is the most cost effective material for transporting signals.
