UHF TACSAT and UHF/ VHF Line of Sight RF Over Fibre System
What is it?
- A Fully Integrated Antenna Remoting Solution for Tactical Radios
- Works with UHF TACSAT and VHF/ UHF Line of Sight
- Separate the Radio from the Antenna by up to 10 km
- True Two Box Solution with Full Web Based Monitor and Control
- Easy Local Control from Radio Interface Unit Front Panel
- Ruggedised to Survive Harsh Environments
- Choice of DC or Mains Power
- Single Duplex Fibre Between Radio Interface Unit and Antenna interface Unit
- Optional Motorised UHF Tacsat Positioner
What are the Applications?
- Use in Theatre to Protect Secure Radio and Personnel from Incoming Fire
- Use on Ships to Connect from Radio Room to Mast Mount Antenna
- Use in Civil Emergencies to Connect the Radio in a Basement to a Roof Mounted Antenna
- Use to Penetrate an EMC Shielded Facility without Compromising its Integrity
What are the Advantages?
- None of the Loss Associated with Copper Connected Systems
- Integrated Filter Bank Covering 32 to 512 MHz LOS and UHF TACSAT
- Head End Booster Delivers up to 45 Watts at the Antenna
- Low Noise LNA Boosts Received Signals by 45 dB
- Maximises QOS to Field Based Tactical Terminals
- Excellent Protection of Radio Equipment from EMP/ EMI discharges
- Works with all Common Tactical UHF/ VHF Radios
- No Need to Step Outside to Control the Antenna Interface Unit or Optional Motorised UHF Tacsat Positioner
