COFDM System, the new range of wireless video transmission
They can use any microwave frequency from 1 to 31 GHz. They do not need to operate in the licence exempt 2.4 and 5.8 GHz public bands where interference is becoming an increasing problem
Relative to IR systems, the transmissions are unaffected by weather
The systems can transmit many videos over the same path, which simplies the installation because discrimination between platforms or trains is provided by frequency selection rather than antenna alignment
They use space diversity in which the same video is received in different antennas with automatic selection to ensure the best pictures are always available, even when there are reflections and obstructions
They provide the highest level of video quality with little or no latency, both of which are essential requirements for a safety critical equipment
Even in special environments:
* Tunnels
* Over Water / Sea Surface
* No Line of Sight
* Mobile / Airborne up to 300 km/h
* Plain Signal or Encrypted Signal
