Globecomm Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: GCOM) is introducing a new portable X-band satellite terminal at the SATCON 2009 exhibition and conference at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City on October 14 to 15. The TomCat™ X-Band terminal is a light-weight, man-transportable X-band SATCOM system that sets-up and can be operational within minutes. It is fully integrated and operates on a variety of power sources. It is ideally suited for tactical and other rapid-response applications that operate in harsh conditions and in remote locations.

As part of Globecomm’s Explorer terminal product line, the TomCat™ X-band terminal fits in a single transit case which meets the requirements for checked baggage aboard commercial airlines. User-friendly monitor and control features include built-in diagnostics, an integrated spectrum analyzer, and a comprehensive GUI (Graphic User Interface) for use with a laptop computer. Globecomm will display the TomCat™ X-band terminal and provide additional information on its design at Booth #725.
