To provide reachback capabilities from forward-stationed units
in remote locations to Europe, the solution includes a Very Small
Aperture Terminal (VSAT) network which has the performance to
support emerging mission needs and is capable of handling smaller,
sub-meter, antennas.
The VSAT network provides over 100 Mbps of throughput using
multiple access methods, from time division multiple access (TDMA)
that is shared sequentially and frequency division multiple access
(FDMA) allowing simultaneous transmission, to various types of
remote deployments and end-users. The satellite service provides
expansive coverage of countries from Turkey to Pakistan, with
reachback to Europe, enabling collaborative tools and enhanced
situational awareness in a distributed way.
“We are proud to provide satellite communications support for
this critical combatant command mission,” said President and CEO of
SES Government Solutions, Brigadier General Pete Hoene, USAF
(retired). “This new program allows personnel to reach out to the
tactical edge for fast and dependable real-time data and represents
a further extension of our current mission support to warfighters
using both GEO and medium earth orbit (MEO) satellite
communications capabilities.”
