SWE-DISH Licensed to Carry Suitcase


SWE-DISH CCT90 SWE-DISH Satellite Systems AB, is officially certified and awarded a U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) license for the SWE-DISH Suitcase(R) CCT90 ultra-portable SATCOM terminal. The Suitcase CCT90 is a highly compact and quick-to-air broadband satellite terminal, featuring a 0.9-meter antenna and advanced CommuniCase(R) Technology. The FCC license further validates the system's deployability for U.S. customers, and confirms the system's high level of performance. CommuniCase Technology is based on a common modular system architecture that features modems, amplifiers and other components that can easily be switched out and plugged in to another CCT product, such as a Drive-Away CCT120. This feature enables users to quickly adapt systems for rapidly evolving operational needs.

The steps taken for the licensing involved SWE-DISH's Suitcase CCT90 being rigorously tested and working closely with satellite operators to ensure compliance with current FCC requirements as detailed in CFR Title 47 Part 25. The Suitcase CCT90 and the proven SWE-DISH IPT Suitcase are the only mobile broadband satellite terminals with sub-one meter antennas that have been awarded an FCC license. The SWE-DISH IPT Suitcase has also previously received type approvals from Intelsat (IA097AA0), Eutelsat (EA-V042), and Europe*Star (ES-ME-39).
