>From the site: Problem - federal integrator with a government customer needed to connect geographically dispersed antenna sites to a central pool of monitoring equipment.
Our Solution - With Glimmerglass managing the reconfiguration of optical signals, the integrator was able to create an RF-over-fiber solution that performed better and cost less than traditional implementations. .. I would be *REALLY* interested in seeing how they did this. We've been doing this (it's called Fiber IFL) for a long time, but the range with nearly everything has been sub 40km for the most part. Getting geographically diverse sites all linked up via rf to fiber would be a nightmare unless you were planning on demodulating the signals and sending them via IP, which wouldn't surprise me.
