Key Takeaways
MANPACK ANTENNA
A manpack antenna is the combination of the antenna and other components, which are all contained in a lightweight purpose made backpack to allow ease of carriage and operation. Manpack Satellite Terminals offer a lightweight, portable Satcom solution for the communication needs of a dismounted soldier or first responder in highly rural areas and harsh environments. Its compact design and intelligent packaging concept facilitate a one-man setup and operation. The terminal can be packed in a backpack and carried in the airline overhead compartment. It also has the optional feature of a hard transit case for carrying in airline baggage.
MARINE VSAT
Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT), is a two-way satellite ground station or a stabilized maritime VSAT antenna with a dish antenna that is smaller than 3 meters. Typically, marine VSAT systems consist of a small satellite antenna and transceiver enclosed in a protective dome cover. It is installed as an Above Deck Unit meaning it’s situated outside on the ship. It works with a Below Deck Unit that is placed inside, which manages the external antenna and broadcasts the satellite signal to connected devices in and around the vessel.
Key Features
Enterprise LTE
Long-Term Evolution (LTE) is a standard for cellular communications that acts as an upgrade path for carriers leading up to a new generation of service. Many of us are familiar with 4G LTE, which is a standard much faster than 3G but not quite as fast as true 4G. LTE comes in multiple varieties transmitting across various bands of the radio spectrum.
Enterprise LTE is a private wireless local area network (LAN) that is tailored to an organization’s specific needs. This offers the organization seamless connectivity within a wide-range, low-latency, and highly secure network.
How It Works
Tactical Radio
Tactical radio equipment is built to military specifications for shock, immersion, ingress protection and vibration. Examples are active-duty service members and certain law enforcement agencies. In these lines of work, tactical radio equipment must be able to endure the most extreme of conditions so they’re reliable, flexible and resilient. Most tactical radio sets operate within a 2 MHz to 400 MHz range within the frequency spectrum.
Tactical Radio Communication refers to the use of specialized communication devices and protocols by military personnel to exchange vital information in tactical operations and combat situations.
Key features
A very small aperture terminal (VSAT) is a two-way ground station that transmits and receives data from satellites. A VSAT is less than three meters tall and is capable of both narrow and broadband data to satellites in orbit in real-time. The data can then be redirected to other remote terminals or hubs around the planet. A VSAT system usually consists of the following two components:
How VSAT Network works
SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) is a category of software applications for controlling industrial processes, which is the gathering of data in Real Time from remote locations in order to control equipment and conditions. SCADA provides organizations with the tools needed to make and deploy data-driven decisions regarding their industrial processes.
SCADA systems include hardware and software components. The hardware gathers and feeds data into field controller systems, which forward the data to other systems that process and present it to a human-machine interface (HMI) in a timely manner. SCADA systems also record and log all events for reporting process status and issues. SCADA applications warn when conditions become hazardous by sounding alarms.

VMS Solutions
VMS (Vessel Monitoring System) is a satellite surveillance system primarily used to monitor the location and movement of commercial fishing vessels. The system uses satellite-based communications from on-board transceiver units, which certain vessels are required to carry. The transceiver units send position reports that include vessel identification, time, date, and location, and are mapped and displayed on the end user’s computer screen.
Each vessel typically sends position reports once an hour, but increases intervals when the vessel is approaching an environmentally sensitive area. Alerts can be sent to the VMS technicians and other personnel when a particular vessel location might require additional inquiry or contact with the vessel operator.
Other Uses:
A turnkey solution is a type of system built end-to-end for a customer that can be easily implemented into a current business process. It is immediately ready to use upon implementation and is designed to fulfill a certain process such as manufacturing (in part or whole), billing, website design, training, or content management. A turnkey solution system is different than a custom-built or designed system. When a company or business isn’t looking for multiple bells and whistles, a turnkey solution may be an affordable and simple option.
