SOL8SDR-C
SOLO8 Software Defined Radio (Concealment)
Overview:
The SOLO8 Software Defined Radio is an ultra-miniature
COFDM digital video transceiver from Domo Tactical
Communications (DTC), designed specifically for Point of View
(PoV), body worn and concealment applications. Dependent
on the applications loaded, the platform can operate as a
Transmitter, Receiver, Dual Encoder, Standard IP Mesh and
MIMO IP Mesh. Further information on software capability can
found in the SDRAPP datasheets.
Three enclosure variants are available: Concealment (-C),
Robust (-R), Plain (-P).
Concealment (-C) is an ultra-miniature package ideal for
integration into the smallest concealment solutions.
The UHF version is larger than the standard SOL8SDR-C due to
the lower frequency of operation (320-470MHz). Please see the
SOL8SDR UHF Operation Guidelines publication for important
application notes.
One/two 2W PA accessories can be connected via D1806 for
extended range.
Features and Benefits:
Dual high profile HD H.264 independent video encoders (NEW)
2x100mW COFDM transceivers for use as COFDM Transmitter,
Receiver or IP Mesh
ISM band telemetry transceiver for control, PTZ and low power
standby
Dual SD/HD-SDI video inputs for recording, transmission and
analysis
Microphone inputs and headphone output for recording,
transmission or talkback
Growing USB support for peripherals such as 3G/4G/Wi-Fi
dongles
Ethernet, RS232 and RS485 connectivity and 128GB built in
storage
Compact packaging with ultra-miniature connectors
Very low power consumption: typically 7.5W
Exceptionally small size: 50mm x 50mm x 18mm (24mm UHF)
Weighs only 70-82g
