- Product Details
-
The Iridium Indoor Extender is a 19-inch 1RU chassis that carries Iridium signals from an outdoor satellite antenna over fiber into a building's interior; compatible versions are also available for Globalstar, Inmarsat and Thuraya systems. The indoor chassis supports up to four phone/cradle or re-radiating antenna connections, and outdoor components are housed in IP-67-rated enclosures. The fiber link allows the indoor equipment to be located roughly up to 1 km away from the outdoor line-of-sight antenna.
-
- Form factor: 19" 1RU indoor chassis
- Connectivity: up to four phone/cradle or re-radiating antenna connections
- RF interface: 50 Ohm SMA connectors
- Alarm/monitoring: DB25 connector with dry relay contacts
- Power: dual AC or optional -48 VDC for the indoor chassis; +12 VDC for outdoor equipment and ceiling-mount termination
- Fiber distance: up to approximately 1 km between indoor equipment and outdoor antenna
- Multimode fiber compatibility available (with limitations on dual indoor terminations)
- Transmitters: linear, isolated, uncooled DFB laser diodes; Receivers: high-performance InGaAs photodiodes
- Outdoor components: IP-67 rated environmentally hardened enclosures
- Transparently supports voice and data services; GNSS/GPS downlink transport available on request
- Local LED status indicators and dry-contact alarms
- Compatible systems available for Globalstar, Inmarsat and Thuraya requirements
Applications: large buildings, underground facilities/mines/tunnels, maritime, oil and gas platforms, secure government facilities, disaster recovery.
