Open Source vs. Closed Source Drones: What It Means for Fiber-Connected UAV Operations As drone technology continues to evolve, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly used in defense, public safety, critical infrastructure, inspection, and industrial applications. While airframes and sensors often get the spotlight, the communications architecture behind drone operations is just as critical. One

Cost-Effective RF over Fiber Solutions for Indoor Wireless and Public Safety Coverage Delivering reliable indoor 4G/5G wireless and public safety coverage is increasingly challenging as buildings grow larger, more complex, and more RF-hostile. In many cases, installing long coaxial cable runs from an outdoor donor antenna to indoor equipment is impractical due to distance, signal

Direct-to-Device Satellite & 5G NTN Ground Segments: Why RFoF Is the Quiet Enabler The satellite communications industry is entering a decisive transition: Direct-to-Device (D2D) connectivity, often described as Satellite-to-Phone, Tower-to-Device (T2D), and Network-to-Device (N2D), is moving from early demonstrations to scaled, operational deployments. As operators pursue 3GPP-aligned 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) and D2D service models,
