businesses support successful testing of GATR-FLEX
Cubic Corporation (NYSE: CUB) today announced that its
subsidiary GATR Technologies (GATR), which operates within the
Cubic Mission Solutions (CMS) business division, and Intelsat
General Corporation (IGC) successfully established a 26-megabits
per second (mbps) downlink and a 10+ mbps uplink, carrying multiple
data streams during performance testing of GATR’s prototype
GATR-FLEX® sub-meter Ku-band, ultra-portable terminal.
GATR and IGC performed a series of tests using the open
architecture, high-performance Intelsat EpicNG satellite IS-29e,
GATR-FLEX antenna and GATR’s e850 ruggedized iDirect satellite
modem, which maximized the throughput of the iDirect Evolution
series modems. The tests measured throughput while taxing a single
satellite link with data, voice and high-definition (HD) streaming
video, which is normally done by two separate terminals over
separate networks.
“The extreme portability of our sub-meter GATR-FLEX terminal and
IGC’s new high-throughput, high-performance satellite have been
successfully tested to deliver command and control (C2) in addition
to full-motion video capabilities,” said Paul Gierow, president of
Cubic|GATR.
“The goal of this test was to demonstrate that there was ample
capacity for a small terminal to stream multiple HD video streams
at the same time as C2 traffic, and we succeeded in doing this,”
said Mark Daniels, vice president of new technologies and services,
Intelsat General.
Cubic|GATR and IGS anticipate higher performance with the next
generation of iDirect Velocity modems.
“Cubic’s GATR looks forward to offering new and innovative
satellite communications solutions that enable users to increase
the capability of the mission, while keeping the pack-out small and
lightweight,” said Mike Twyman, president of Cubic Mission
Solutions. “Cubic subsidiaries will continue to look for ways to
synergize and collaborate to deliver enhanced end-to-end
communications solutions to our customers.”
Additional products from CMS subsidiaries were also used for the
tests, such as DTECH’s M3-SE networking stack of routers, switches,
servers, encoders and voice appliances as well as TeraLogics’
Unified Video® Cloud and Server application for real-time Full
Motion Video. Unified Video demonstrated HD video contribution and
consumption streaming over the same satellite link for the C2
services.

About Cubic | GATR
Cubic|GATR, a subsidiary of Cubic Corporation and a business
under Cubic Mission Solutions, manufactures deployable inflatable
satellite communication terminals (1.2 meter, 1.8 meter, 2.4 meter
and 4 meter). The unique inflatable design enables deployment of
high-bandwidth terminals in a very efficient pack-out (smaller
& lighter), making it ideal for first-in deployments and remote
applications. GATR terminals have been used all over the globe by
the U.S. Military, Intelligence, and Homeland Security
organizations at Ku-, C-, and WGS certified Ka- and X-band for all
types of data and voice transmissions, and other IP-enabled
activities. GATR’s antennas perform like rigid deployable antennas
of the same size, but provide up to an 85 percent reduction in the
logistical size/weight of those systems. More information can be
