Mobile satellite communication for various military operations

Thrane & Thrane delivers robust and highperformance communication equipment to large-scale military and peace-keeping organizations worldwide. EXPLORER Series provide reliable IP-based voice and data connectivity for beyond line-of-sight communication – a key component in the military mission-critical intelligence infrastructure.
 

Ensuring intelligence superiority

Strategic and tactical communication is a vital part of military operations today; therefore it is crucial to transmit detailed and high-security intelligence in real-time between tactical unit and HQ wherever deployed. For this purpose Mobile Satellite Communications are playing an increasingly key role in providing reliable intelligence needed for military operations.

EXPLORER terminals all offer reliable high-speed broadband and voice for beyond line-of-sight (BLOS) communication – either through vehicular or lightweight, portable devices. As a stand-alone device integrated into an existing communication infrastructure, EXPLORER Series provide a rugged and advanced intelligence solution supporting a wide range of applications.
 

Global coverage – global access

Over the last few years Mobile Satellite Communication technology has improved rapidly: Satellites with higher power and wider bandwidth have enabled BGAN terminals to transmit increased mission critical intelligence to an ever-wider number and variety of military units – disregarding place, time or magnitude of mission.

The EXPLORER Series enable military forces to remain a step ahead when it comes to intelligence– even in the increasing speed and diversity of operations. EXPLORER terminals utilizing Inmarsat’s worldwide BGAN services offer military operations improved communications capabilities – critical to supporting various global military operations.
 

Easy deployable

EXPLORER terminals are easily deployed and very versatile for field operations providing instant connectivity to other tactical units or HQ. This way situational awareness and realtime mission-critical intelligence can be shared immediately. Simultaneous voice and data transfer can be made to enhance quality of the intelligence – and to support voice communication with pictures, map or live video.
