AeroComm Introduces Innovative Fiber Solutions for In-Building Wireless Communications Systems
Further distinguishing itself as an innovator in the design and deployment of in-building wireless communications systems, AeroComm, Inc., the wireless systems division of International FiberCom, Inc. (Nasdaq: IFCI), today introduced its new RF (radio frequency) Over Fiber and GPS (Global Positioning System) Over Fiber systems. These fiber optic-based solutions are a less costly substitute for coaxial cable in an in-building communications system that requires a long or very flexible cable run.
AeroComm's RF Over Fiber system can be used to bring a wireless signal into a building in place of coaxial cable. The system consists of an RF receiver on the building's roof connected to a fiber optic transmitter, which changes the RF signal to light. These light waves are then transmitted over fiber optic cable to a fiber optic receiver inside the building, where they are converted back to RF and distributed into the in-building system. Using fiber optic cable in place of coaxial cable is a less costly and more reliable solution and helps overcome the challenges of running unwieldy coaxial cable through the twists and turns of a high-rise building's maintenance shafts.
AeroComm's GPS Over Fiber system can be used in a similar fashion where Global Positioning System (GPS) timing is required for a wireless communications system but may not be accessible due to long cable runs. This GPS Over Fiber system eliminates costly construction using coaxial cable and is available with dual-channels and AC or DC power options.
"Our engineers continue to develop innovative solutions to ease the process of bringing wireless communications into buildings or tunnels," said Lee Masoian, president of AeroComm, Inc. "These two new solutions not only reduce the overall deployment costs for in-building systems, but also make it easier to deliver these systems to the many pre-wired buildings that already have fiber optic cabling in place."
