Harris + Coolfire Solutions... Tools You Can Use (SATCOM)


[SatNews] Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) and Coolfire Solutions, LLC, have announced the availability of Reconn™ -- the first SATCOM toolkit....

....in one handheld device designed to locate, acquire, and sustain any SATCOM link. The mobile device’s small size and light weight make it ideal for conducting missions in remote and terrain-challenged environments. The Reconn mobile SATCOM toolkit enhances operator effectiveness and significantly reduces training time and costs by leveraging user-friendly applications that run on a smartphone connected to the Reconn hardware.

Reconn integrates all tools and capabilities required by SATCOM operators, including a spectrum analyzer, power meter, LNB tester, and multimeter – all in a single package weighing less than 8 pounds. SATCOM Operators currently must use multiple devices, with different interfaces and greater weight. As part of the joint development effort, Harris and Coolfire Solutions™ expect to evolve the integration of hardware and software applications to further enhance the SATCOM usability of mobile devices.
