Features & Benefits
- Agility in Design
- – Flexible Deployment: Dual integrated PCBAs within a core module.
– Adaptation into various platforms and base band architectures.
– Spectrum Efficiency: Incorporates a software-defined radio (SDR) and a RF focused Front End Module optimised for spectrum efficiency. - Flexibility
- – Initial L-Band/LTAC capability with a dual channel SDR spanning 29MHz to 6GHz.
– Offers 40 MHz immediate bandwidth for diverse bearer solutions, spectrum bands, and waveforms. - Accessibility
- – Seamless audio and data integration with a Remote Interface Unit (RIU) including a USB hub
– Streamlined operation with simplified control and configuration. - Extended Capability
- – Up to 300% increase in Data throughput, achieving 90kbps @25kHz / 900kbps@200kHz LTAC.
– Very narrowband 5kHz channels enable voice and data throughput @ 12.5kHz. - Adaptability
- – Optimal bandwidth efficiencies on the move with integrated and automatic Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM).
– Ensure communication even in ‘noise’ through advanced coding and modulation schemes. - Robustness
- – Encryption and strong access controls compliant with UK Govt Secure by Design standards.
– Traffic encryption with AES 256 or 128 options to suit different export markets.
– Built to Mil Std 810G with embedded ATC for interference filtering, enabling communication despite terrestrial interference.
Applications
- Beyond Line of Sight LTAC/TACSAT
- Provides standalone voice and data functionality either at low data rates (with low probability of intercept and detection) or high data rates enabling 90kbps data throughput on a single 25kHz data channel.
- Tactical MANET data networks
- MANET data networks are currently limited to their respective ‘MESH’. GENSS can extend each ‘MESH’ to the echelon/home base station using its open API platform, boosting data throughput with embedded management software applications.
- LTE
- The GENSS+ data port can utilise data extension capabilities beyond terrestrial networks, like LTE, and retransmit them over personal or tactical Satellite solutions. With GENSS multiband SDR and FPGA, future requirements might enable a direct rebroadcast between LTE and LTAC solutions, using a single radio.
- Link 16
- GENSS agile hardware solutions easily integrate into all operational platforms and enable interoperable BLOS connectivity for Link 16 users. Using GENSS user-friendly OPEN software architecture, many Link 16 applications achieve seamless connectivity, including application interoperability like ATAK, Windows, or IOT.
- Tropo
- TROPOSCATTER solutions provide a bespoke high-bandwidth point to point capability. Data from these Spectra provided COMTECH solutions can be integrated into GENSS and distributed to non TROPO stations.
- APN
- The core of GENSS solutions consists of an SDR and FEM. These units can be integrated into base band/rack mounted solutions in Satellite Ground stations to expand the network over terrestrial solutions or other satellite services.
