- Description
- The product is a frequency converter and digitiser comprising electronic components within a 19” rack-mounted housing It functions by receiving RF signals from a satellite antenna and converts them to the Vita 49 standard IP packet format whilst also increasing gain where required. The IP packets are then transmitted over an IP network (such as Ethernet) to an end user location. At the end users location, if required, another wideband apparatus can translate the VITA-49 standard IP stream back into RF analogue form. This enables data to be sent over significantly greater distances
