TriPoint Global Introduces Satcom-On-The-Move Terminal at Satellite 2004 ConferenceMobile RF Terminal Provides Continuous High-Bandwidth Voice and Data over Ku-Band for Tactical Battle Vehicles
The full motion, remote control terminal, designed and built by TriPoint Global’s VertexRSI product line, is ruggedized for use by military forces and designed to be mounted on a wide variety of tactical vehicles. Nathan Knutson, TriPoint Global’s Vice President for Government Strategic Programs, said “The unique capability that VertexRSI’s Satcom-on-the-Move™ (SOTM™) terminal brings to the battle space is its robust, continuous operation while traveling over rough terrain. Since it operates at Ku-band frequencies and higher, data rates as high as 512 kbps are achievable, or eight times that of L-band terminals.” “This terminal will revolutionize combat operations because it provides the first ‘no-kidding’ Satcom-On-The-Move™ for military use in the market,” Knutson said. “It sends and receives large files containing high-resolution graphics in seconds instead of tens of minutes or even hours. And, since this terminal is designed to be mounted on a variety of vehicles such as HMMWV’s, armored personnel carriers, Stryker vehicles, and even tanks, there is no restriction to deployment plans for high quality and timely communications.” “Since Ka-band operation is three to five years in the future, the immediate need for highly mobile satellite communications can be met by using Ku-band terminals,” Knutson said. “Ku-band is an industry-standard operating frequency that provides reliable high performance, and at the same time is offered by a large number of satellite providers world-wide. Ku-band R/F components are also readily available at very reasonable prices. The VertexRSI Satcom-on-the-Move™ terminals are scheduled for initial operational testing later this year with production and delivery shortly thereafter.
