TerraNet is a game-changer for cost-effective training and testing of SATCOM terminals in the field
Herndon, Va., 7 May, 2024 – iDirect Government (iDirectGov), a leading provider of satellite communications to the military and government, announced a partnership with Tampa Microwave that combines iDirect Government’s Tactical Hub and Tampa Microwave’s Quad Band Satellite Simulator (QBSS) to deliver an easy to use, transportable, and cost-effective solution to support all-encompassing mission-readiness scenarios, branded TerraNet. A turnkey solution, TerraNet can be used to perform end-to-end system validation, radio frequency (RF) equipment testing, training, maintenance, and pre-deployment exercises of hub and remote terminals in a simulated satellite network of up to 1000 remotes within a range of 300 feet.
“Intricate engineering, advanced technology, testing, launch expenses, ongoing maintenance, ground control operations, and other factors contribute to the high costs of satellite communications,” said Tim Winter, president of iDirect Government. “Although the bandwidth costs are well worth it to protect citizens and U.S. infrastructure, assets, and interests, there is now a way to prepare for mission readiness and save on bandwidth costs with TerraNet. This solution represents another way that iDirect Government is at the forefront of innovation, with Tampa Microwave as our partner.”
TerraNet enables MILSATCOM users to deploy a cost-effective training and testing platform with benefits that include:
Live demonstrations of TerraNet will be available at Global SOF Week 2024 in Tampa, FL, from May 7-9, 2024 at the iDirect Government booth (#1113).
