Case Studies

Satellite for siren warning system in Hawaii

A new state‐wide replacement warning siren control system using lower bandwidth, with the ability to remotely monitor and test area‐specific sirens regardless of on which island they were located. The technology would need to contend with Hawaii’s geographical topology and permit sirens to be installed where previously that was not possible.

SATCOM success in the world’s harshest weather conditions

Maintaining vital communications links during an arduous Antarctic mission.

Fleet Xpress delivers game-changing maritime connectivity

Providing reliable, high-speed maritime communications across a fleet of more than 400 vessels, involving over 14,000 crew members.
