Product details
Foxcom Iridium Optical Repeater for Hangars provides indoor Iridium satellite signal access across aircraft hangars and underground bunkers. By transmitting RF signals over fiber optic cables, the system establishes reliable connectivity without the signal loss associated with lengthy coaxial runs. This enables avionics crews to complete critical system testing inside the facility rather than initiating costly towing outdoors whenever satellite communication is required.
