Valde is active in the military marketplace by providing Remotec, a division of Northrop Grumman, with
complete IMT Field Repair Splices and Installation Kits that include optical jumper cables. Remotec is a global leader in mobile robotic systems for hazardous-duty operation. The Field Repair Splice offers quick emergency repair for security equipment and machinery. Technicians in the field can make repairs to the fiber cable and be back in operation within minutes. This Field Repair Splice is ideal for emergency restoration when cables are deployed for data telecommunication and for bio-chemical sensors. Other key applications include emergency fiber cable restoration for tactical robots, broadcasting, and movie productions along with temporary communication networks where the fiber is deployed on the ground and has the potential to be damaged.
"This is the splice the tactical robot users have been waiting for. In the past when the fiber breaks during a mission, the operator had to go down range and replace the fiber spool which is located on the robot. This can be hazardous if an Explosive Device is in the claw. By using the Valdor Splice, the operator can go down range and retrieve both ends of the broken fiber and bring it to a safe location and splice the cable in under ten minutes."
- Mr. Royce Hollman, Service Manager for Remotec
