Flight Information Display System (FIDS) over Copper

Disseminate passenger flight information data to LCD and plasma screens and monitors throughout the airport and its environs over copper wire infrastructure.

Network managers responsible for airport communications have many miles of copper lines to connect remote display stations to a central computer that transmits automatic updates on flight information.

 

Using RAD’s SHDSL modems and multiplexers, airport communications specialists can connect their Flight Information Display System over copper. RAD’s solutions extend the reach of Ethernet-based transmissions to Flight Information Display System screens over copper throughout the airport using 2-wire, 4-wire or 8-wire connectivity. The modems support data rates up to 22 Mbps and range up to 10 km.

 

The ASMi-54 G.SHDSL.bis modem supports a point-to-point Ethernet connection of up to 22.8 Mbps over 8 wires (4 pairs) using bonding of multiple copper pairs. Four Base 10/100T Ethernet ports provide connectivity of Flight Information Display System over copper in addition to other devices necessary for airport communications operations such as CCTVs that transmit Ethernet video streams.

 

The ASMi-52 SHDSL modem and mux supports two services, offering Ethernet connectivity in addition to voice with two user ports integrating 10/BaseT Ethernet and E1 traffic.

 

The ASMi-52L Ethernet modem is a cost-effective solution offering one or four Ethernet ports for connecting flight information displays over copper lines in addition to other Ethernet-based devices.

• SHDSL supports longer ranges, higher data rates

• Protects investment in existing copper infrastructure

• Ethernet ports and integrated switch eliminates external device and supports new data equipment with LAN interface

• Built-in multiplexer: No need for additional equipment or extra copper pairs to transport data and voice traffic

• 2-wire or 4-wire repeater extends range
