AIMA-RT3S
The RT3S, 1310 nm Return Transmitter – Standard series, is a high-density module with two lasers. It is designed to plug into PBN’s latest Advanced Intelligent Multi-services Access platform – the AIMA3000.
PBN’s RT3S is currently available in a dual transmitter configuration. It features a full-spectrum advanced transmitter designed for multi-services operators (MSOs) to increase network capacity to satisfy an ever-growing subscriber demand for bandwidth.
The RT3S employs an advanced RF circuit design and two high quality independent low-chirp lasers. In addition, it has a cutting-edge optoelectronic design for the delivery of high-quality transmissions, over passive fiber optic networks.
All RT3S models can also be conveniently monitored and controlled through a computer connected to one of the Ethernet ports or an Android mobile device via the ASMM module. All module settings are retained in non-volatile memory to ensure trouble-free operation. Bulk updating, automatic uploading and downloading of configuration files can be done when using PBN’s NMSE web-based management system.
