Globecomm’s X-Band Offers X-band Service For U.S Forces.
Globecomm Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: GCOM) has introduced an operational commercial X-band service offering to U.S. Military and Coalition Forces operating in Southwest Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Globecomm’s end-to-end X-band offering combines licensed teleport assets, a global fiber network, commercial X-band space segment, a redundant iDirect Internet Protocol (IP) services platform, and a wide range of satellite terminal equipment options.
This service provisioning will support the demand for increased U.S. Military and Coalition Forces’ bandwidth requirements in an IP-centric fashion. This commercial X-band service offering makes use of high power satellites that can support the deployment of small aperture antennas, including man-portable units in regions of the world that have very high usage requirements and are in critical need of additional bandwidth options.
Along with its global service offering, Globecomm provides a variety of X-band satellite terminal hardware ranging from the new TomCat ManPack to 0.77m and 1.2m Auto-Explorer self-aligning terminals up to 3.0m single-carrier and 4.0m multi-carrier, fixed hub earth stations. Globecomm’s global fiber network, with redundant and diverse connectivity to a European teleport, connects Globecomm’s service to many European points of presence, as well as to Globecomm’s Hauppauge, New York facility node, delivering robust IP connectivity, US-based voice termination services and US or European IP addresses.
Globecomm’s experience with the U.S. DoD and other international organizations delivers it with an extraordinary skill set that was used to create this solution. Globecomm provides the complete solution so the deployed unit in the field has one Network Operation Center to call to obtain assistance with their service between their computers to the hand off point at the Governments network.
