London, UK - Cobham is taking direct
aim at the growing market for rapidly deployable mobile cellular
communications with the release of Cobham SATCOM's new "EXPLORER Mobile Net" system.
Available in GSM, 3G or LTE variants, the EXPLORER Mobile Net provides
an ultra-portable solution for instantly powering a coverage area
of up to seven kilometers for mobile phones and smart devices
within just a few minutes. The tactical single-case cellular
network solution allows people to stay in touch under the most
challenging and demanding conditions by providing instant local
communications without backhaul, as well as enabling global
interoperable voice, video and data communications when paired with
one of Cobham's EXPLORER BGAN or VSAT satellite terminals.
EXPLORER Mobile
Net systems leverage the NETSeries smart edge software
from SiRRAN Communications and Cobham's state-of-the-art satellite
terminals to produce a rugged, reliable and practical approach to
remote networking. Remote coverage areas powered by Mobile Net can
accommodate hundreds of concurrent device registrations and up to
32 simultaneous user sessions, with a range of options and
accessories to maximize efficiency in any environment, all packed
into an airline carry-on size rugged case for quick deployment on
land, at sea or in the air. Within a single kit, Mobile Net
operates up to two Picocells simultaneously, plus WiFi for maximum
versatility. Users may deploy one, or any two, of the supported
cellular frequency options. No other solution on the market today
can offer the same range, features and functionality in such a
cost-effective manner.
GSM options allow for the greatest range, and a simple
connection to a BGAN or MSS (Mobile Satellite Services) terminal
enables devices to interconnect for global roaming using just 128
Kbps of data. 3G and LTE solutions can provide solutions ranging
from 1 to 75 Mbps depending on application and availability of
backhaul. Importantly, the system's data throughput can be
intelligently throttled back to ensure affordable transmission of
key data over a wide area network, or optimized for full-service
local network sharing of data and applications by teams on the
ground.
Walther Thygesen, Cobham SATCOM vice president, said: "Mobile,
or 'cellular,' networks is an important driver of satellite
services and the advent of higher bandwidth solutions and smart
devices is opening new market opportunities. Cobham's release of
this portable, flexible and powerful new range marries these new
bandwidth-friendly 'mobile' attributes to our satellite terminal
offerings, and allows our customers to benefit fully from
both."
Dean Parsons, CEO SiRRAN Communications, said: "SiRRAN is
pleased to partner with Cobham SATCOM, the leader in mobile
satellite terminals. EXPLORER Mobile
Net creates a natural extension of mobile carrier-grade
capabilities into the satellite-optimized wireless markets for the
military, first responder and disaster recovery operations, and
news gathering and commercial markets where remote instant coverage
can be deployed at sporting and other events."
