PPM Launches New ViaLite RF Fiber Optic Wavelength Division Multiplexing Product Platform
15 August 2007
PPM Ltd has launched a new Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) suite of products to enhance its world-beating Vialite® RF fibre optic connectivity platform. This innovative development in the design of RF fibre optic transport networks promises to deliver next generation transmission performance at minimal bandwidth costs.
Connectivity solutions from PPM that incorporate Vialite WDM technology, enable flexible and efficient planning of optical transmission networks for satellite, broadcast, instrumentation and signal distribution markets. This is achieved because the WDM platform allows protocol-transparent combination and separation of multiple wavelength channels, effectively utilising the extensive bandwidth of standard ITU G.652 single mode optical fibre.
PPM's Vialite WDM product suite offers 1310nm/1550nm WDM for bi-directional RF transport over a single fibre, and ITU-T G.694.2 eight channel Coarse-WDM (CWDM) multiplexer and demultiplexer for ergonomic network transport and distribution of multiple wavelength services and payloads. The Vialite WDM platform is inherently modular and compact in design, making it easy to select the right system for your application.
WDM technology has a range of benefits when used in conjunction with PPM's Vialite fibre optic links including:
- Delay matching in GPS distribution links
- Reduced fibre count for broadcast antenna-remoting applications using diversity reception
- Upgrade of existing satellite teleport equipment using pre-existing fibre cabling
- Reduced dark fibre leasing costs for system integrators
