SpacePath Communications will be showcasing its new 40W man-pack terminal for tropospheric scatter (troposcatter) transmission at the Defence in Space Conference (DISC), London.
The military-grade, troposcatter man-pack highlights a cutting-edge solution in the Beyond Line-of-Sight (BLoS) communication segment, combining a BUC, LNB, modem and filters in a single, lightweight, and ruggedized, portable terminal. Offering up to 20W of linear output power and a frequency range of 4.4-5.0GHz, this compact device provides exceptional power density, and weighs less than 6kg. The robust man-pack is designed for long-range, point-to-point communication, ideal for tactical military operations, disaster recovery, and emergency restoration, ensuring reliable communications in locations where traditional SATCOM is unavailable.
Providing exceptional flexibility in deployment, the terminal is compatible with all antenna systems and supports data rates of at least 7 Mbps over distances of up to 70km. The integrated modem with quad-diversity further enhances performance, making it ideal for demanding, tactical communications.
Colin Bolton, director of business development, SpacePath Communications, said: “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.”
SpacePath’s high performance uplink amplifiers cover all mission-critical segments including high-throughput satellite (HTS), mobile satellite, fixed-earth stations and military satellite communications.
I found the breakdown very clear and informative, especially for readers who aren’t engineers by trade. I recently saw a discussion on a review blog that also explored the impact of specialized tech in daily life. It made me appreciate how even niche stores, such as https://www.gourmetgiftbasketstore.com/, thoughtfully design their offerings to meet specific customer needs.
