RF over Fiber Solutions

Global Foxcom optical links offer a full range of L-Band, IF & C, X & Ku Band frequencies and are deployed by major satellite operators and broadcasters around the world.

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.

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.
