PolarSat Announces delivery of VSATPlus 3 system to a leading strategy and technology consulting firm for US Government Agency C3I test bed

PolarSat Inc. announces the successful completion of VSATPlus 3 system delivery, and training for a major US based technology consulting firm.  The VSATPlus 3 network will be utilized for testing and evaluation of various C3I applications for a US government agency.  The full mesh VSATPlus 3 IP modem has been installed and application testing and end user training has begun.

 

The VSATPlus 3 satellite communications network enables direct connectivity between all Command and Control network elements without requiring a central hub or central network controller.  This gives an enhanced level of robustness by not having a single point of failure in the network along with the added benefit of a low cost implementation.  Bandwidth is dynamically allocated automatically on demand to lower the overall required satellite bandwidth while supporting different types of IP traffic.  The Quality of Service (QoS) capability of the VSATPlus 3 terminal supports the integration testing of various C3I application performances along with a host of standard IP based applications.  The QoS allows the customer to establish different priorities for various different types of traffic or in combination with the applications IP address.  The test bed highlights the ease of use of providing a Multi-Service IP infrastructure for beyond line of sight communications that can be deployed world wide quickly and easily.

 

This C3I test bed has to support demanding communication requirements including extremely high network availability in varying environmental conditions.  The VSATPlus 3 has performed well in these conditions and was very easy to learn and set up", stated the lead project engineer at the technology consulting firm.  "The VSATPlus 3 provides an excellent solution for us due to its integrated QoS support for testing a wide range of applications, full mesh IP networks connections, built in Bandwidth on Demand, along with geographic redundancy to automatically route traffic to an alternate gateway."

 

The VSATPlus 3 system provides effective communications links between all locations that provide unsurpassed communications flexibility. The VSATPlus 3 demonstrated hubless full mesh connectivity of user traffic including; Voice over IP, IP Video teleconferencing, Data file transfers, Internet/Intranet and email. 

 

"The selection and successful implementation of VSATPlus 3 by this highly reputable technology consulting firm represents a strategic entrance of PolarSat into the Satellite C3I system solutions market”,stated Ron Mankarious VP of Sales of PolarSat, 

 

VSATPlus 3 salient features include hubless operation of mesh connectivity, Turbo Coding, QPSK/8-PSK modulation, integrated IP protocol enhancements, and Bandwidth-on-Demand functionality.  The VSATPlus 3 builds upon PolarSat’s 25+ years of satellite modem experience to continue to provide a robust and reliable MF-TDMA, full mesh, hubless product.
