Dual Channel RF Record and Playback
Detect. Analyze. Defeat.
The IQC5000B series of products is the industry's smallest, high-fidelity, dual-channel RF Record & Playback systems. With up to 255 MHz of record and playback bandwidth, the IQC5000B Series, RF Record & Playback System can meet long-duration recording needs from HF to millimeter wavelengths in mission-critical applications.
Supporting today's operational security requirements, the IQC5000B has 4TB of removable storage and can provide an impressive 55 minutes of single-channel record time at full bandwidth. For additional capabilities, up to 24 TB with the system’s external data packs provides over 3 hours of single-channel record time at full bandwidth.
