The maritime sector is embracing the use of optical fiber links, instead of traditional coaxial cable, to carry signals throughout maritime vessels. With fiber being lightweight, smaller, easier to manage and route round obstacles, including bulkheads, it is the preferred choice for shipbuilders and system integrators.
In maritime Satcom on the Move (SOTM) applications, the links manufactured by ViaLite can be used to carry a variety of signals, including: satcom, GPS/GNSS, radar and comms. They are used to connect antennas on the ships’ communications towers, above deck, to below-deck operational rooms. Vessels include naval and commercial fleets, superyachts and submarines.
