Drones have been one of the newest armaments and biggest challenges of the Ukraine – Russian conflict, with new drone devices being deployed for surveillance, attack and defense at a scale not seen before. However, all remote-controlled drones face issues with maintaining communication links with their operators, with the main defense against drones being radio jamming devices. 

This month, we share major developments including our expansion into the North American market with the launch of OPTOKON North America. We also highlight our successful participation in Modern Day Marine 2025 and the Czech Signal Corps Conference.

Telecom operators around the world face ever-increasing demands for reliability, performance, and service continuity. Whether deploying fiber optic networks in dense urban areas or maintaining critical infrastructure in remote regions, every connection counts. At OPTOKON, we understand these challenges — and we’ve spent over three decades designing solutions to meet them.

From our headquarters in the Czech Republic to telecom networks across the globe, OPTOKON has become a name synonymous with precision, quality, and trust.

The LMRS Nuclear Radiation Sensors are engineered for operations where failure is not an option. Built specifically for uncompromising durability, these sensors feature heavy-duty, ruggedized enclosures designed to shield sensitive internal components from the most severe environmental elements. This robust construction ensures that the units remain operational and protected, regardless of the physical demands of the deployment site.

High-performance connectivity for Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) requires significantly more durability than standard fiber optic cables can provide. Our Tactical Braid Patch Cable is specifically engineered for autonomous systems operating in demanding and unpredictable environments.

OPTOKON introduces SC Shuttered Connector Patchcords designed to enhance safety, reliability, and performance in modern FTTx networks. Developed to meet the growing demands of access networks, these patchcords combine robust construction with user-friendly operation, making them ideal for both installation and long-term operation in the field.
