DataPath's COTM Commitment Results In MobiLink


DataPath, Inc. has introduced DataPath MobiLink™, an easy-to-deploy communications on-the-move (COTM) solution that delivers cost-effective, mobile network-centric warfare and first responder capabilities. MobiLink incorporates standard communications electronics and delivers them in a newly designed, compact package that enables integrated UHF/VHF land mobile radio (LMR) and satellite COTM. MobiLink transforms almost any U.S. military vehicle into a command post on wheels. MobiLink features an innovative system that mounts on a standard SINCGARS MT-6352 tray in military vehicles. A hub vehicle equipped with MobiLink supports high-bandwidth capability to send and receive video, data, and voice communications between many vehicles and users. MobiLink offers an everything-over-IP (EoIP) network link and establishes a robust local wireless network anywhere it is needed to go. MobiLink operates with the push-to-talk simplicity of LMR systems, combining ease of use with beyond-line-of-sight capability. Because it is preprogrammed, using MobiLink requires no specialized satellite communications (SATCOM) training. This means the frontline fighter or first responder is free to focus on the mission at hand rather than the communications equipment.

DataPath MobiLink

The features and benefits of DataPath MobiLink include...
  • On-the-move performance: 1 Mbps throughput at up to 85 miles per hour
  • Exceptional size, weight and power (SWaP): repackaged electronics maintain LMR capability and add SATCOM while fitting in the existing space in a standard SINCGARS tray in military vehicles
  • Integrated LMR and SATCOM: operates through a seamless, radio-like, push-to-talk system
  • Easy to use and set up: constant mobile satellite connectivity means personnel do not need to stop for SATCOM set-up and tear-down; basic push-to-talk, LMR-like operation enables anyone to easily use the system in the field
  • Flexibility: works with any satellite COTM antenna, modem and baseband equipment; includes the option of a low-profile antenna for a highly deployable solution
  • Control: the MaxView(R) Network Management System is embedded software in the system for optimal management and control of one or many COTM systems Embedded router: enables EoIP high-capacity communications
