BRISBANE, Queensland
- Boeing has successfully demonstrated its SATCOM on the Move (SOTM) product on
a live Ka-band satellite network. The demonstration in May connected three
sites in Australia and the United States using integrated voice, video, and
data communications over the increased bandwidth available on the latest
generation Ka-band satellite mobile terminals. This capability uses the
Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) system, also developed by Boeing.
During the
demonstration, High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (Humvees) fitted
with cameras and handheld radios successfully connected to test labs in
Australia and the United States, simultaneously combining videoconferencing
with military radio and telephones. The integrated SOTM demonstration proved
core elements of a seamless, secure and deployable communications system.
This latest
SOTM product evolved from combat-proven technologies used by the U.S. Army
during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003.
"This
demonstration shows the maturity and readiness of Boeing's capabilities in the
suite of services required to provide satellite communications on the
move," said Kim Gillis, vice president and managing director of Boeing
Defence Australia. "Our proven SOTM technology will provide defense
customers with confidence that HQ on the Move capability can be achieved on the
Ka-band satellite system ready for the WGS network."
