The company has been developing commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) RF over fibre equipment to take advantage of open architectures. Visitors to DSEI can see a commercially-developed proof of concept on display at PPM’s stand.

New to PPM, a selection of Trival Antene’s high-quality antennas and masts will be on display at DSEI. Their antennas complement the existing PPM Systems range by adding an increased capability in the lower bands, with the addition of a new range of tactical antennas and masts.

Other products showcased will include the Rodent 4 military RF over fibre system, which enables signals intelligence (SIGINT) antennas to be deployed at a long stand-off distance, allowing personnel to safely obtain radio spectrum intelligence from the intended target zone.
