Military personnel work in the farthest areas of the countries, therefore they require communication system that will be able to operate even in harsh conditions. Mobile earth stations(MES) provide reliable field communication with the mobility of a durable trailer.
Mobile earth station is designed for transmitting and receiving signals from sources such as aircrafts, satellites etc. They have their own power supply or take supply from the location where they are used.
MES matches the need of a transportable system. They are suited for wide range of military services, business, news gathering, disaster recovery and other applications.
The military chooses top quality transportable stations that consist of movable terminals. These terminals are responsible for sending and receiving signals through antennas and other equipments.
Mobile earth stations terminals are composed of in-mobile and out-mobile equipments and other outdoor equipments.
Some of the types of mobile earth station terminals are:
- Single or multiband
- Trailer mounted
- SNG Systems
- Battlefield
- Transportable fly away
- Vehicle mounted terminals
Mobile earth stations are in high demand for military applications because of their key benefits:
- Secure communications
- Safe and rapid deployment
- Easy operation
- Mobile broadband, voice and video connectivity
- High performance and affordable cost
A flexible family of earth stations is used for cost-effective communications on the move. Here are some of the reasons why mobile earth station is suitable for military services:
- Reliability: The military requires a system that would enable communication in harsh weather conditions as well as provide connectivity in remote locations. For these conditions a reliable system is required, that’s why mobile earth stations are suitable for them.
- Diversity: Along with voice and data transmission, military personnel require the ability to transfer images, videos , files and more. A mobile earth station provides connectivity for all these applications.
- Transportability: The military has to be on the move almost continuously. They can travel with mobile earth stations easily and establish communication whenever necessary.
Thus, it is an effective means of communication in the military providing communication link to communication satellites.
