RF/Microwaves via Fiberoptics??

Is anyone ecxperimenting with RF transmission via Fiberoptics?

For antenna remoting, etc RF-over-fiberoptic I found Miteq

is the best, somehwhat EXPENSIVE but tech specs are best in the world (noise, gain flatness, etc). And Miteq is using German lasers!

As you know fiberoptic is the ONLY solution for LOSSLESS & SAFE transmitting RF over a long distance e.g. from antennas, on ship/aircraft, etc because first unlike Coax cable fiber doesn't suffer from excessive loss (you can have a 10-kilometer link no problem!), second it's hard to intercept (if you break fiber it iwll be notices, while Coax cable can be tapped in illegally), third it's immensely interference-immune, etc, etc. though mor eexpensive.

That we found perfcect for Antenna remoting when facilities cannot be built near each antenna (antenna array), also for spying/military application fiber is safer than coax cble, and finally on aircrafts, etc you would prefer fiberoptic due to its immunity to interference (life-safety issues). So

I found by clicking on "components & assemblies" (NOT satellite comm)-->the clicked "fiberoptic products", they even posted datasheets and brochures there (maybe too much info!)

Umh... Excuse me, but I never heard of RF transmission by fibers. They transmit light, that is to say electromagnetic waves of enormously higher frequency than radio waves THz against GHz. It might work with very thick fibers (10mm and more?) You must mean that you modulate the antenna signal unto lightwaves and use optical transmission to bridge bigger distances. At the other end, you retranslate in order to regenerate the original signal? All this is used already for a long, long time in data transmission : telephone, internet etc. So, what exactly is new in your "discovery"
