1.1 What is the SOLO7 Nano Transmitter?
The SOLO7 Nano Transmitter is an ultra-miniature COFDM digital video transmitter from
Cobham Tactical Communications and Surveillance, designed specifically for covert video
installations and body-worn applications.
With proven Cobham COFDM technology at its core, the exceptionally small size and low
power consumption (typically 3.7W @ 100mW RF power) of the SOLO7 Nano transmitter
make it the product of choice for covert video hides, or applications requiring long term
battery power deployments, small unmanned aerial vehicles, and body-worn or body-wire
use.
The SOLO7 Nano Transmitter employs ultra-low latency High Profile H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC)
encoding for excellent image quality retention over the wireless link. MPEG-4 ASP video
encoding is also available for backward compatibility with older Cobham video transmission
products. Equipped with integral COFDM modulation, the SOLO7 Nano Transmitter is ideal
for establishing rugged wireless video links in numerous environments, including mobile and
urban. Offering several user-selectable modes that trade off image quality against range, the
SOLO7 Nano Transmitter is very well suited to all mission types.
The SOLO7 Nano Transmitter supports both industry standard DVB-T modulation and
Cobham Narrowband (2.5 MHz), Ultra Narrowband (1.25 MHz) and Ultra-X (625 kHz)
bandwidths. The narrowband modes allow users to share scarce spectrum allocation
extremely efficiently.
