Optical Fiber Tether Systems
designed for long-range aerial communication and secure data transmission.
The system uses high-performance G657A2 single-mode fiber optimized for 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths. Because of its low attenuation properties, signal strength remains stable across extended distances.
In addition, optical transmission eliminates RF interference that commonly affects traditional radio systems. As a result, UAV operators achieve more secure and consistent data transfer in complex terrain and restricted airspace.
For rugged field deployment, the spool features high tensile strength to support aerial operations. Moreover, the precision-machined aluminium exit nozzle ensures smooth fiber release during tethered flight.
At the same time, the reinforced ABS / Carbon Fiber housing protects against vibration and impact. Therefore, the system performs reliably in harsh outdoor conditions.
