ViaLite’s RF Links Meet US Military WGS Standard

ViaLite has announced that its RF over fiber links are compliant with the US army MIL-STD-188-164B ARSTRAT-WGS standard.

Craig Somach confirmed the successful testing of the ViaLiteHD RF over fiber transmission equipment with tests carried out in-conjunction with a US systems integrator. ViaLites high performance L-Band HTS RF over fiber links were shown to deliver better than -60 dBC at 10 dBm input power.

Following qualification, ViaLites links can be used to connect ground stations for the Wideband Global Satcom (WGS) system; a high capacity satellite communications system principally designed and developed for the US Department of Defense.

MIL-STD-188-164 is a series of technical standards and design objectives relating to interoperability and performance common to both long haul and tactical communications systems.

As well as being able to operate over long distances due to their low attenuation, RF over optical fiber systems can prevent attempts to eavesdrop or corrupt critical operational data. The fiber is also immune to electromagnetic pulse (EMP) strikes and allows antennas to be located greater distances away from assets.
