The Hybrid Mains and Optical Transmission
Unit is an ancillary product to Ascom’s palette of
military communication equipment. It is a
practical device that fulfils a special but common
requirement. The HMT 1000 feeds isolated
stations with signal and power through a single
hybrid cable. It offers fast set-up, effectively
replaces power generators and can be deployed
by a single person.
Reduced emission as well as distantly
placed transmitters give personnel an element
of added protected in the combat arena.
Compliant with standards for military grade
electronics, the HTM 1000 is constructed of the
same quality standards as the family of Ascom
ruggedized openAccess Nodes. Used primarily in
military environments, it is also suitable for
international peace keeping and crisis manage-
ment operations.
The HTM 1000 delivers power and provides for remote operation of
semi-permanent transmitter stations or other C4I equipment. Simplified
cabling allows a small signal core team to rapidly install - for example -
ad-hoc surveillance stations, command centres, transmitter stations and
check points even in difficult access sites such as snow and steep terrain.
The HTM 1000 hybrid cable consists of a power transmission line and
four single-mode optical fibres bundled in a sturdy, yet compact and light
construction; complete with integrated terminal hybrid connectors that let
fast fail-safe mounting.
The unit boasts a high capacity data transmission rate for supporting
remote data networks and is provisioned with safety monitoring including
passive and active protection of the mains transmission line and provides
galvanically isolated operation.
The watertight ultra rugged enclosure is hermetically sealed to
withstand severe humidity, dust exposure and extreme temperatures. It is
corrosion resistant and shock/vibration protected.
Typical HMT1000 configuration: Ad-hoc connection between a mobile command unit
(‘supply side’) and a remote operation unit (‘remote side’).
