Foxcom Announces C-Band Interfacility Fiberoptic Link

System 951 Provides Cost Effective Solution for RF Transport

Washington, D.C., 04/03/04 - Foxcom , a division of OnePath Networks, is introducing the System 951, C-Band RF optical interfacility link at Satellite 2004 at the New Washington Convention Center, on booth number 238. The System 951 joins other members of Foxcom's industry leading fiberoptic interfacility link products including, L-Band, IF and serial data. The System 951 provides full support for C-Band; uplink frequencies from 5.80 to 6.650 GHz and downlink frequencies from 3.40 to 4.20 GHz and meets Intelsat Standard A requirements.

The System 951 maintains Foxcom's leadership in offering cost effective fiberoptic interfacility links for the satellite industry. Foxcom's advanced fiberoptic technology reduces the attenuation, slope, phase shift, and group delay, maintaining extremely low levels over distances of up to 15 kilometers. The C-Band's link state of the art lasers produce negligible chirp and optical distortion; critical for long distance links. Manual gain at the transmitter and receiver site allow for system optimization according to the application. As with all Foxcom interfacility fiberoptic links, LEDs, back panel alarms and monitors are provided indicating system health and interfacing with third-party M&C systems.

"We are thrilled that we are releasing our System 951 product at the Satellite 2004 show. The System 951 was driven by our customers' requirement for a cost effective and high performance way to transmit C-Band. There are a number of "on-frequency" C-Band transmission schemes but they are often expensive and limited in distance. We believe that operators will like our lower cost and yet high performance solution which also works seamlessly with our other fiberoptic interfacility products," said John Murphy, Director, US Operations.
