iDirect Government’s Tactical Hub Teams with Tampa Microwave’s Quad Band Satellite Simulator for MILSATCOM Mission Readiness Solution – TerraNet
06 Mayo 2024 - 8:00AM
iDirect Government (iDirectGov), a leading provider of
satellite communications to the military and government, announced
a partnership with Tampa Microwave that combines iDirect
Government’s Tactical Hub and Tampa Microwave’s Quad Band Satellite
Simulator (QBSS) to deliver an easy to use, transportable and
cost-effective solution to support all-encompassing
mission-readiness scenarios, branded TerraNet. A turnkey solution,
TerraNet can be used to perform end-to-end system validation, radio
frequency (RF) equipment testing, training, maintenance and
pre-deployment exercises of hub and remote terminals in a simulated
satellite network of as many as 1,000 remotes within a range of 300
feet.
“Intricate engineering, advanced technology, testing, launch
expenses, ongoing maintenance, ground control operations and other
factors contribute to the high costs of satellite communications,”
said Tim Winter, president of iDirect Government. “Although the
bandwidth costs are well worth it to protect citizens and U.S.
infrastructure, assets and interests, there is now a way to prepare
for mission readiness and save on bandwidth costs with TerraNet.
This solution represents another way that iDirect Government is at
the forefront of innovation, with Tampa Microwave as our
partner.”
TerraNet enables MILSATCOM users to deploy a cost-effective
training and testing platform with benefits that include:
- Simulated satellite link for mission readiness activities,
saving bandwidth costs from using a live network.
- Reduced training lead times due to other satellite bandwidth
and priorities, allowing training to take place when it is
needed.
- Eliminating cancellations of planned training testing because
of higher priority uses.
- Effectively conduct training and testing on multiple
interference scenarios without compromising live networks.
- Evaluate emerging technologies and field new capabilities
without necessitating live mission networks.
- Complete network system eliminates reliance upon gateway
personnel and resources: Personnel can “train as they fight” in a
realistic end-to-end environment.
TerraNet live demonstrations will be available at Global SOF
Week 2024 in Tampa from May 7-9, 2024, at iDirect Government’s
booth (#1113).
