ViaLite Introduces IP55 Rated RF over Fiber Outdoor Modules from 10 MHz to 6 GHz

ViaLite has introduced groundbreaking RF over Fiber outdoor IP-rated modules that operate from 10 MHz to 6 GHz. The Black OEM from ViaLite is the latest in the Mil-Aero range of stand-alone RF over fiber modules. They provide the widest RF bandwidth for a product in this format and cover VHF, UHF, L, S, and C-bands.

With an industry-leading spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) at 109 dB/Hz at 1500 MHz and 104 dB/Hz at 5 GHz, it is the widest SFDR RF over fiber product in outdoor-rated module format. In addition to this, the Black OEM features a USB-C field-controllable option, which enables the user to adjust the gain settings accessed by a port that is secreted behind a waterproof plug.

The product is in a metal casing, has a wide operating temperature, and is IP55 rated, meaning it is protected against most outdoor usage scenarios. It is the first module from ViaLite that can be installed outside without the need for an enclosure.

It is available as a single transmitter or receiver and there is a high output power version that offers up to +10 dBm with low output harmonics. The Black OEM is available as part of the Mil-Aero 6 GHz Link Pair but can also be used for other applications such as Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), cellular and network timing, critical communications, and disaster recovery. An IP-rated power supply can be provided and the power, RF, and optical connections are via secure screwed-in connectors. 

ViaLite’s Mil-Aero link pair comes in various hardware formats, such as stand-alone OEM modules (Blue and Black) and chassis rack cards. Chassis rack cards are managed and configured via a site controller which utilizes SNMP and web interface, whereas stand-alone modules are field configurable via USB serial cable.

Key Applications:

  • Defense and Military Aerospace.
  • Telemetry, boresights, missile tracking, and testing.
  • Radar and Electronic Warfare (EW) simulation.
  • Tethered systems and UAVs for remote sensing and monitoring.
  • Air Force Base communications.
  • Signals Intelligence (SIGINT).
  • Cellular and Network Timing.
  • Critical Comms and Disaster Recovery.
