Satellite technology is developing fast, and the applications for satellite technology are increasing all the time. Not only can satellites be used for radio communications, but they are also used for astronomy, weather forecasting, broadcasting, mapping and many more applications. With the variety of satellite frequency bands that can be used, designations have been developed

The term RF Optics can be a confusing concept – hence we will try to clarify how, and when, it is actually being used within modern communication infrastructure. Both RF – which stands for Radio Frequency – and light are a form of radiation that differ only in the wavelength. RF cover bands from HF

DAS – the 4th Utility Traditionally Building owners already provide three basic utilities: Water (and sewer), Power (electricity & gas) and Wired Connectivity (telephone & CATV), and many go on to provide certain amenities (parking, workout facilities). The newest utility demand that developers are now becoming aware of is for in-building wireless coverage service to

 AS2-S11-S-GE-5 Media Converter Here is a question that we often receive from prospective new Customers of the Micro-OTDR: “I want to have the benefit of the Micro-OTDR feature in my network, but cannot afford to replace all of my Switch/Router equipment. How can I add the Micro-OTDR to an installed base of network equipment, which

Eliminate Reflection Problems Which Plague Legacy SFSW SFPs Single Fiber Single Wavelength (SFSW) Transceivers transmit and receive at the same wavelength, on single fiber, doubling the optical fiber plant capacity. SFSW transceivers offer many potential benefits to the Network Operator – e.g. seamless CWDM integration, half the fiber, half the CWDM passives and easier fiber

The challenge for VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) where the antenna (Dish) and the command center are not collocated has always been the limited reach of the RF cabling.  Using a RF over Fiber link, the distance between the antenna and the operation center can be extended from a few meters to few kilometers without any signal degradation.  The VSAT location / Operating Center often requires building modifications, but using a fiber based VSAT system offers the following benefits:  The
