TROPOSCATTER
High Capacity Robust & Resilient Strategic Communications
OVER THE HORIZON COMMUNICATIONS
If you need resilient and robust networks over strategic distances without bearing the cost of SATCOM and with higher bandwidth capacity, a Troposcatter solution could be the answer. The next generation of Troposcatter technology from Comtech delivers data rates to 200 Mb/s over 200 km and more* without the need for terrestrial or satellite repeaters.
Features & Benefits
- Key Features
- – Over The Horizon Communications
– High Bandwidth
– Resilience in a Space-Denied Environment
– Low Size and Weight
– Ease of Use - Sovereign Communications
- A Tropo solution provides a sovereign network capability. Nationally owned and operated, Tropo delivers secure high-bandwidth Over The Horizon networks above and beyond coalition capability and Commercial Satellite Providers (COMSATCOM).
- High Power and Low Weight
- Capable of 200 Mb/s* at 500 Watts, Comtech’s Mobile Transportable Tropo system (MTTS) considerably outstrips the data transfer rates available over satellite and without the associated annual cost
overhead. The compact (COMET) system, transfers between 5 and 60 Mb/s beyond 60 kms, with a transmit output power of 10 Watts. - Improved Mission Planning
- The quick planning tool enables intuitive and straightforward mission communication planning. Using a Red/Amber/Green visual paradigm, communicators can instantly see what performance to expect from specified locations. Used in conjunction with Google Earth conservative estimations can be used to inform mission planning.
Applications
- Strategic Intelligence & Global Defence
- High capacity Over The Horizon networks means that commanders and analysts can access and process ‘big data’ more quickly to inform accurate and timely decision-making, thus increasing the operational tempo.
- Deliver Collective Capacity
- Multinational requirements continue to grow with bandwidth-heavy applications. Tropo can provide significant bandwidth for Brigades, Regiments and sub-units and thicken and complement existing or future networks.
- Support STRIKE Brigades
- Due to the nature of intelligence-led operations, the extensive use of ISR and comparatively large C4IS infrastructure to support multiple nodes, there are large bandwidth requirements for fixed bases and FOBs. Tropo gives the potential to provide HD quality, full-motion video, from tactical UAV assets back to the decision-makers and intelligence analysts by reaching out to the tactical edge.
- Peacekeeping Operations
- A Tropo hub and spoke infrastructure, such as was used by used Peace Support Operations in Kosovo, can deliver considerable savings compared to satellite over the length of deployment** as well as massively increasing the capability through higher bandwidth.
