ANNAPOLIS, Md., Aug. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/
-- TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. (TCS) (NASDAQ:
TSYS), a world leader in highly reliable and secure mobile
communication technology, today announced that it has received
$2.8 million in incremental funding
from the U.S. Army for Secret Internet Protocol Router and
Non-secure Internet Protocol Router Access Point (SNAP) Tactical
Transportable TROPO (3T) deployable communications systems.
News Facts:
- The U.S. Army Project Manager for the Warfighter Information
Network - Tactical (PM WIN-T) Commercial Satellite Terminal Program
is funding these procurements through the Army's $5 billion World-Wide Satellite Systems (WWSS)
contract vehicle.
- The JF-12 certified 3T is a combination of the TCS
battle-tested SNAP VSAT system and Comtech Systems' modem.
Troposcatter technology overcomes significant terrain challenges
that are extremely relevant in today's complex battlefield.
- SNAP's 3T option provides high bandwidth, low latency,
non-satellite Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) network transport for
existing and future bandwidth intensive C5ISR platforms.
- The 3T system establishes connectivity at data rates greater
than typical satellite links without the recurring satellite
airtime costs.
- The increased throughput capacity offers greater speed for
bandwidth-intensive applications such as Intelligence,
Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) video distribution.
- Bandwidth offloaded onto 3T links will allow better use of the
limited satellite resources and provide long-term cost savings to
the warfighter.
