The BCI Model 720 is a low noise, radio frequency fiber optic transceiver. The product is designed for fiber optic RF and RS-232 data transmission over a single optical fiber. The optics offer high linearity and superior performance over a wide range of operating temperatures. Operation over a single fiber is enabled through the incorporation of a wavelength division multiplexer at 1550 and 1310 nanometers.

The product supports optimal operation for 800-960 MHz CDMA/GSM (721 Series), 1700-2200 MHz PCS/UMTS (722 Series), and 800-2200 MHz Broadband (723 Series) wireless applications. The optical transmitter utilizes high performance DFB lasers operating at 1550 and 1310 nanometers. The receivers are based upon low distortion PIN diode photodetectors.

RF connections utilize standard SMA connectors and the optical connection is through standard FC/APC connectors.
