SNMP V.1 and RS-232 Monitor & Control
Interface - Flexible user interface options
Compatible with EMCORE’s Modular Optiva
Platform - Allows multiple format and
frequency transport in a single chassis
DWDM Operation - Increases transport
capacity without increasing fiber count
The Optiva platform includes a wide range fiber
optic transport products for satellite and microwave
communications from 1 MHz to 40 GHz. These units can be used to construct
transparent inter- and intra-facility links from 1 meter to >100 km for RF and
microwave signal transport, antenna remoting, video transport, electronic
warfare systems and other high-dynamic-range applications.
Optiva is a completely modular, hot-swappable platform. Both 19” rack-mount
and compact tabletop, or wall-mountable enclosures are available. The 3 RU 19”
rack-mount, fan-cooled enclosures (Model OT-CC-16 and OT-CC-16F) can support
up to 16 insert cards and utilize two dual-redundant, hot-swappable, 100 or 200
watt power supplies. The 1 RU 19” rack-mount, fan-cooled enclosure (Model: OT-
CC-6-1U) can accommodate 6 insert cards and utilizes two hot-swappable 60 watt
power supplies. Compact one-slot (OT-DTCR-1), or two-slot (OT-DTCR-2) enclosures
are also available that use an external wall-mount power supply.
The Optiva OTS-2 X-Band transmitter and receiver are ideal to
construct 7.000 to 10.000 GHz transparent fiber optic links for
antenna remoting, electronic warfare systems, broadband delay
lines, signal processing systems and other high-dynamic-range
applications.
Optiva satellite and microwave transmitters and receivers are SNMP
compliant. They can be housed in the same chassis and monitored by the same
Network Management System (NMS) as Optiva HD video, audio, serial data, and
USB extension / distribution cards to provide multiple format and frequency
transport in a single flexible platform.
