PolarSat... Full-Mesh + Hubless (Terminal)


[SatNews] PolarSat Inc. has announced that four more new customers have purchased VSATPlus 3—one of the many applications that...

...VSATPlus 3 is ideally suited for is in support of Command & Control / Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C2/C4ISR) systems. The VSATPlus 3 satellite modem core features of a hubless architecture combined with full-mesh connectivity are proving to be distinct and powerful.

The VSATPlus 3 builds on PolarSat's tradition of providing bandwidth efficient satellite networks operating within mission-critical environments such as those typical to specialized governmental organizations, be it civil or defense. Unique to VSATPlus 3 is the inherent flexibility of PolarSat’s proprietary hubless full-mesh IP network architecture based on its unique MF-TDMA radio frequency access technology. This flexibility allows for any type of connectivity between various elements of a C2/C4ISR system. More specifically, with its hubless network control algorithms that allow for geographic redundancy, the user is able to ensure no single point of failure. This disruption tolerant network technology is essential for supporting dynamic contingency operations in the field.

With its multi-carrier full-mesh IP connectivity, the VSATPlus 3 allows for adhoc networks to be extended seamlessly over satellite. Its multi frequency burst modem dynamically hops on up to 32 carriers in full duplex mode allowing the user complete flexibility on connectivity and bandwidth allocation across its network—the technology supports these advanced IP features within a low cost package, reduces both operating and capital expenses when compared to other satellite networking product offerings traditionally used in the governmental domain. The VSATPlus family continues PolarSat’s 25+ years of satellite modem experience to continue to provide a robust and reliable MF-TDMA, full mesh, hubless product.
