TeleCommunication Systems Receives 2010 Satellite Spotlight Product of the Year Award
ANNAPOLIS, MD--(Marketwire - February 15, 2011) - TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. (TCS) (
TCS teamed with Comtech Systems, the world leader in Troposcatter communications technology providing the most advanced and proven Tropo modem and radio available, to develop the solution for today's warfighters. By delivering beyond line-of-sight (BLOS) capability in a transportable, flyaway Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT), the SwiftLink 3T solution enhances communications capabilities with seamless compatibility and interoperability with legacy-fielded Troposcatter systems and other communication systems including the TCS Swiftlink family.
The SwiftLink 3T solution delivers high-throughput capacity to enable mission-critical surveillance, situational awareness and real-time data to remote, infrastructure-challenged locations. The award-winning solution overcomes significant terrain challenges to allow direct transmission between sites, thereby eliminating recurring costs, complexity, and delay in satellite communications.
"We are excited with the results of our partnership with TCS," said Richard Burt, president of Comtech Systems. "The challenge for Transit-cased Tropo is to achieve the transport objectives while still delivering enough capability to meet multiple missions. The SwiftLink 3T solution achieves both objectives and will play an important role delivering mission-critical bandwidth to the battlefield."
"Our SwiftLink 3T solution provides cost-effective, high-bandwidth communications in a package that small teams can quickly and easily deploy," said Mike Bristol, senior vice president and general manager of the government solutions group at TCS. "It represents a new industry standard for Troposcatter products, and we are honored to be recognized by TMC with this award."
"Satellite Spotlight is pleased to grant a 2010 Product of the Year Award to TeleCommunication Systems for its SwiftLink 3T solution. TCS has proven their commitment to quality and excellence while addressing real needs in the marketplace," said Rich Tehrani, CEO at TMC. "We are proud to honor their innovation and accomplishments in the advancement of the Satellite technology industry."
