sales@vialite.comExtra Wideband 10 MHz-4.2 GHz
The ViaLite Extra Wideband RF over fiber link has a 10 MHz-4.2 GHz bandwidth, suitable for C-Band downlink applications, linking satellite antennas to control rooms, network operation centers and broadcast headends.
- 50 Ohm
- Ultra-wide dynamic range
- Transmits any RF signal – regardless of modulation scheme
- Interfaces with monitor and control (M&C) systems for remote monitoring
- 5-year warranty as standard
Product Inquiry
Ultra-wide dynamic range
One of the link’s key features is its ultra-wide dynamic range. This allows wider bandwidths to be transmitted including the entire 700-2450 MHz. For High Throughput Satellites (HTS), the bandwidths are 500, 800 or 1500 MHz.
Manned from a control room
ViaLiteHD links can be controlled remotely using SNMP or Ethernet, as well as other Ethernet-controlled equipment such as the antenna, converters or amplifiers. This allows multiple antennas to be controlled over fiber from a control room.
Further features and benefits:
- Reduced spares.
In satcom, the 10 MHz-4.2 GHz bandwidth is compatible with both 70/140 IF and L-Band HTS signals – minimizing spares requirement.
Other link options include the ViaLite Ultra Wideband link at 2 kHz – 4.2 GHz and the ViaLite Wideband link.
The Extra Wideband link is available in several formats:
– Single rack chassis card / Dual rack chassis card (Rx/Rx, Tx/Tx or Tx/Rx)
A fully populated 19” 3U ViaLiteHD rack chassis supports up to 26 links and accepts 13 RF cards, plus a Monitoring & Control Module and dual power supply modules. A 1U chassis accepts three RF cards or two RF cards with a Monitoring & Control Module.
– Blue OEM Link
The ViaLite standalone Blue OEM Link offers a compact, single link solution.
– Yellow OEM Link
The Yellow OEM Link has been designed for system integrators and equipment manufacturers to build the link into their own designs.
– Blue2 Link
The Blue2 Link is a dual-solution OEM which can be setup as 2x transmitters, 2x receivers or a transceiver, as required.
A range of support modules and accessories is also available, including indoor rack chassis units and weatherproof outdoor enclosures.
