TROPOSCATTER
High Capacity Robust & Resilient Strategic Communications
OVER THE HORIZON COMMUNICATIONS
Next-Generation Troposcatter Technology: High-Capacity BLOS Links for Strategic Communications
The next generation of Troposcatter technology from Comtech delivers data rates up to 210 Mbps with a planning range up to 250 km * without the need for terrestrial or satellite repeaters. This makes it an ideal solution for organisations that need to maintain reliable and secure communications across strategic distances.
Features & Benefits
- Key Features
- – Over The Horizon Communications
– High Bandwidth
– Resilience in a Space-Denied Environment
– Swift and Agile Deployment
– 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 up to 210 Mbps* 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 Over-the-horizon Mobile Expeditionary Terminal (COMET) system, transfers up to 210 Mbps* with a planning range* up to 70 km, with a transmit output power of 10 Watts. - Improved Mission Planning
- The quick planning tool enables intuitive and straightforward planning of mission communications. Using a visual paradigm (red/amber/green), communicators can instantly see what performance they can expect from specified locations. In conjunction with Google Earth, conservative estimates can be used for 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.
- Brigade Combat Teams
- 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 Peace Support Operations in Kosovo, can deliver considerable savings compared to satellite over the length of a deployment, as well as massively increasing the capability through higher bandwidth.
