TCS Intros Wireless Point-to-point Link for Commercial and Government Organizations

(Product News, 27 Feb 2008)

TeleCommunication Systems Inc. (TCS) has launched the TCS Wireless Point-to-Point Link (WPPL), which provides communicators with secure point-to-point and point-to-multipoint, line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight transmission of voice, video and data communications. Developed to satisfy critical last-mile communications for the Department of Defense (DoD), the TCS WPPL allows communicators to extend their Local Area Network (LAN) to deployed remote locations by providing services over terrestrial microwave radio links.

Currently, the TCS WPPL is in use by the U.S. Marine Corps in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) to enable both data and voice connectivity for deployed Marine Corps units. Redline and Harris radios mounted on the 10 meter adjustable mast allow for Internet Protocol (IP) data transmission within a WPPL network through a line-of-sight/non-line-of-sight transmission extending up to 35 miles point-to-point or 15 miles point-to-multipoint.

The TCS WPPL is offered in both the Redline RedCONNEX AN-80i: (5.470GHz to 5.725GHz) and Harris RF-7800W (4.4GHz to 5GHz) frequency bands and transmits data via Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM). In addition, the system provides organizations with a data rate of up to 108Mbps (uncoded burst rate) which is greater data throughput than any satellite solution.
