The event, formerly known as 3CDSE (Three Counties Defence and Security Expo), is newly branded as SDSC-UK (Specialist Defence & Security Convention UK) and will take place at the Telford International Centre on 2nd November 2023.

With open standards embedded at the core, PPM’s RF over fibre architecture, which securely distributes any signal anywhere, is scalable and readily ruggedised. The knowledge behind the innovation ensures seamless signal transmission even in demanding environments, whilst providing exceptional signal quality and performance and minimal loss.

Applications of the mature and readily ruggedised RF over fibre solutions range from optical distribution for vehicle based FP (Force Protection) ECM and EW, to antenna remoting for distributed ES (Electronic Surveillance) antennas from highly classified processing equipment. Products are suited to all domains and platforms, including SCIFs.
