SpectralNet(TM) Enables Transport of RF Content Anywhere, Over Any IP Network
February 26 2015 - 7:00AM
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq:KTOS), a
leading National Security Solutions provider, today announced the
release of SpectralNet™ by its RT Logic subsidiary. SpectralNet is
the only commercially available product that eliminates the
distance constraints of RF transport by digitizing RF signals for
transport over IP networks in a way that preserves both frequency
and timing characteristics then uniquely restores the RF signals at
their destination.
By eliminating the distance constraints between antennas and
signal processing equipment, SpectralNet's patent pending
technology enables operators to deploy new ground architectures
with numerous advantages, such as the ability to mitigate the
effects of rain fade for Ku/Ka satellites, reduce costs by
centralizing operations, simplify disaster recovery and system
maintenance, optimize antenna placement and develop a migration
path toward virtual ground systems. SpectralNet does all of this
while protecting the operator's current investment in existing
equipment.
The global migration to IP and virtualized solutions has
reshaped many industries over the past decade, enabling the
distribution of many types of content via IP networks. Satellite
ground systems have not been able to take full advantage of this
trend given the constraints on RF signal distribution. With
SpectralNet, the lossless transport of packetized RF over IP
networks—public or private—is now possible, over any distance, even
in the presence of real world IP network limitations.
Scott Criley, SpectralNet product director, said, "SpectralNet
now enables satellite and range ground infrastructures to take full
advantage of IP transport and finally decouple the receipt and
transmission from the processing of RF spectrum. SpectralNet's
high-fidelity digital conversion and accurate restoration of the RF
signals are designed to ensure that any signal, regardless of
modulation type, error-correction coding method, or frequency
spread scheme, can be reproduced after transport. This capability
enables powerful architectural advantages for antenna facilities,
operations centers, and the communications ground segment
enterprise that improve flexibility and lower operation and
maintenance costs."
"SpectralNet will enable aerospace ground infrastructures to
take full advantage of the migration to IP and virtualization,"
commented John Monahan, President of RT Logic. "SpectralNet allows
satellite ground stations and teleports to re-architect operations
to maximize the promise of IP transport."
SpectralNet will on display at Satellite 2015, March 16-18,
2015, Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Washington DC, in the
Kratos booth, #3025.
