laysia there are another 100 workers.“
GlobalInvacom has 60 engineers in
their R&D group and they focus on new
products and the further development
of existing products. „14 engineers in
the R&D group work on the FibreIRS
product line.“ This is quite amazing
considering that at the beginning of FibreIRS
development in 2007 there was
only one single developmental engineer.
It comes as no surprise that GlobalInvacom
consistently introduces new fibre
optic products. „We‘re opening a
completely new segment within the fibre
optic system with a converter set
that would take the frequency range
starting at 87 MHz all the way up to
2300 MHz and convert it into the optical
range. This product is ideal for the
transmission of a single satellite polarization
level simultaneously with terrestrial
signals.“ In this way GlobalInvacom‘s
fibre optic system will also be
compatible with C-band systems where
usually only one polarization level
would be carried.
„Especially interesting is the very low
price of this new system consisting of
the coax-fibre converter and the corresponding
fibre-coax converter“, comments
Ivan Horrocks. „You don‘t even
need any special knowledge of fibre
optics in order to install this system
and thanks to this system you can span
