C-Band 3.4-7.1 GHz (500 MHz – 7.5 GHz)

ViaLite‘s C-Band RF over fiber link covers 3.4 – 7.1 GHz, and has a full operational range of 500 MHz – 7.5 GHz. The range includes the ITU-R radio regulations frequency for fixed satellite – earth to space (7.075 GHz). The link is available as a rack chassis card or new purple OEM module.

By removing the need to down-convert signals to an IF band, the link cuts running costs and reduces overall system costs. It can also boost reliability as there are fewer components in a system. The OEM module has also been designed to use minimal power, resulting in lower running costs and total cost of ownership.

• C-Band 3.4 – 7.1 GHz
• Full frequency range covered by link is 500 MHz – 7.5 GHz
• No IF down conversion needed
• Up to 50 km range
• Rack chassis card or OEM module
• SNMP monitoring & control available with the rack chassis card

  The  ViaLiteHD C-Band Link is suitable for Satcom, Broadcast, Weather Radar, Wireless CCTV (5 GHz products), Telemetry and Defense applications.

  It is used to transport C-Band signals from dishes to:

  • Ground-station control rooms
  • Broadcasters in the field
  • Broadcast headends
  • Outdoor broadcast trucks
  • Weather radar
  • Military
  • Telemetry and tracking.
