Abstract

Interested in wireless/fiberless RF communications? How about up to 155 Mbit/s? This paper covers the use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)/non-developmental (NDI) equipment for military and civilian situations. For this case, we are talking about a terrestrial line-of-sight (LOS) microwave system operating in the 7-8 GHz band at standardized data rates: DS-1/E-1 (1.544/2.048 Mbit/s); DS-3 (44.736 Mbit/s); and STM-1/OC-3c (140/155.52 Mbit/s). This is a transportable communications system for data, fax, image, and full-motion video. This is an in-house effort within the Command, Control, Communications Directorate (C3) of Rome Laboratory (RL) to demonstrate the use of high data rate, communication equipment to provide electrical or optical connectivity for multimedia applications. This effort is called the multimedia wireless extension
