Covert monitoring is of critical importance to protect against illegal operations. These assets
can be used for detecting and catching criminals, smugglers of people, drugs, contraband or
weapons and for monitoring the ever present threat of terrorism.
There has been an increasing requirement to use the rugged transmission capabilities of
COFDM to carry general purpose Video, audio and data traffic.

Cobham Receivers use MPEG and COFDM technologies to provide robust and agile video RF
links that can cope with difficult environments where direct line-of-sight is not always

outputs for composite video signals.
You can choose from several receiver types and several transmitters to build up the perfect
solution for your operation.
