Developed for tropospheric scatter (troposcatter) communications, a military-grade, man-pack terminal from SpacePath Communications provides as much as 20 W of linear output power from 4.4 to 5.0 GHz.
Developed for beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) communications, the compact terminal (see image above) is well-suited for long-range, military communications and emergency services. It weighs less than 6 kg for routine portability. The terminal provides reliable communications in locations where traditional satellite communications (satcom) is unavailable. Compatible with all antenna systems, the terminal provides data rates of 7 Mb/s at distances to 70 km.
Colin Bolton, director of business development for SpacePath Communications, explained, “This new development reinforces SpacePath’s position as a supplier of choice for mission-critical connectivity. Leveraging our design expertise, we have broadened our portfolio in troposcatter systems to include a military-grade, microwave terminal for communications beyond the horizon while on the move.”
The mobile terminal and its uplink amplifiers enable operation with high-throughput satellite (HTS), mobile satellite, fixed-earth stations, and military satcom systems.
