Why UHF SATCOM?
SATCOM, or Satellite Communications, refers to the voice and data service which allows an aircraft, ground soldier or naval vessel to communicate with its team both in the air and on the ground when outside or beyond the line of sight of conventional high frequency stations
Mostly used by governments and military agencies, SATCOM provides users with clear voice and data communications both in the line-of-sight and beyond. Military UHF SATCOM benefits from a high level of interoperability and are useful for multinational operations. Lightweight and robust, UHF SATCOM provides a highly secure means of communication with extensive uses on land, at sea and in the air to meet the needs of the armed forces.
SATCOM antenna have a monogamous relationship with satellites in that only talk to one antenna. An Earth station antenna can point towards this satellite but could you imagine a soldier or a airforce fighter pilot having to tilk a certain way just to get a signal? Instead, UHF SATCOM allos the pilot of a fighter jet to switch between high and low angle beams to ensure the strongest signal is maintained.
Benefits of this Military Trivec-Avant SATCOM Antenna:
- Glenn's discount army surplus always has the lowest cheapest prices military surplus around with the best selection and superior customer service!
- It is easily deployable and has broad beam widths so that precise pointing to the satellite is not a requirement for mobile users
- This UHF SATCOM terminal will provide highly-reliable access and coverage in severely degraded weather conditions
- It will ensure connectivity in the harshest environments
- It is Extremely durable and can be deployed several thousand times by military troops in harsh environments and this one has never been deployed
- Easily finds strong signal
- MUOS compatible - Mobile User Objective System - complements the US military's current narrowband tactical communications system know as the Ultra High Frequency Follow-on-system - UFO for short
More about MUOS which allows for Pole to Pole:
The MUOS space and ground segments consist of five orbiting satellites (one is a spare satellite) and four ground stations respectively. In this system, which mimics a cellular-like service, the satellites effectively act as cell towers to support communication. The user segment comprises of UHF radios, which have been upgraded to support the new MUOS Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) waveform. MUOS-capable radios, accompanied by muos antenna, are and will be installed on aircraft, ships, and ground platforms, and are used by dismounted soldiers to enable beyond line of sight (BLOS) communications.
Built around the commercial 3G cellular technology, MUOS improves the performance of the network system and has a capacity 10 times greater than the legacy UFO SATCOM. It enables voice, video and data transmission over a secure, high-speed Internet Protocol (IP) based and net-centric network.
MUOS will enable more users to access the system when they need it and wherever they need it including Polar regions. The new satellite system supports stable on-the-move and point-to point (P2P) communications. In addition, MUOS integrates with the Global Information Grid (GIG) and can connect to the Defense Information System Network (DISN), the Department of Defense (DoD) network, over satcom.
As it continues to operate in the UHF spectrum, UFO SATCOM is less susceptible to blockages and attenuations by difficult terrain conditions, foliage and other obstructions, compared to higher frequency signals.
