Radiall Announces OSIS Licensing Agreement with Molex



Molex QMD Available Through a Licensing Agreement with Radiall

Paris, France - Radiall SA is pleased to announce the official launch of OSIS: the One Step Interconnect Solution. OSIS was designed in continuity with R2CT to supplement our product range for FTTA applications (Fiber To The Antenna) in a new generation of base stations. Specifically designed to withstand the harsh environments of outdoor conditions, OSIS answers to the need of the customers to get a fast and easy-to-use waterproof fiber optic connection system as a solution for high density of fiber optic links.

The OSIS plug kit assembles without tools in the field conditions over existing optical patch cords and is compatible with a large range of LC connectors and SFP transceivers. Sealing levels are IP65, with IP67 optionally available, with a durability of 100 mating cycles minimum and a temperature range from -40 degrees C to +85 degrees C. The mated connection has a retention force of 200 N (45 lb).

Molex brings the Quick Mate Duplex (QMD) solution to its customers through a licensing agreement with Radiall SA for its next generation One Step Interconnect Solution (OSIS) fiber to the antenna interconnect technology, insuring full interoperability of both manufacturer's product offerings. "We are happy to share our OSIS connector
technology with Molex to offer customers dual source solutions that are fully interchangeable with both OSIS and QMD solutions," said Marnix van der Mee, Business Development Unit Director for Radiall. The agreement expands the ruggedized connector offering by Molex with a product that provides performance advantages over those previously deployed. The Molex QMD solution will be supplied as part of a factory assembled and tested cable assembly or as a connector kit that can be applied to a customer built cable assembly or an existing on-site assembly.

The OSIS by Radiall has been developed for antenna fiber optic links in a new generation of telecommunication applications such as 3G, 4G, WIMAX, CDMA or LTE. Many major OEMs are very pleased and optimistic about the implementation of OSIS. The primary application is for Telecom use, but it can also be used in other markets such as transportation, industrial and military.

With OSIS, R2CT, ODC and the licensing agreement with Molex, customers have access to a complete offer to meet their technological needs for outdoor telecommunication applications in field conditions.
