Defence Communications

Satcom terminals are deployed rapidly to provide resilient communications:

  • Forces deployed on NATO, UN or national missions
  • Emergency communications centre
  • Rescue coordination in remote or devastated regions
  • Situational awareness
  • Access to operational logistics, management and intelligence data
  • News and media reporting
  • Mobile phone backhaul connectivity to replace damaged infrastructure
  • Real time communications data link to support telemedicine
  • Security in border control or maritime & coastguard operations

Our ground terminals use industry-standard equipment, selected and configured to deliver optimum performance.  Our versatile modular terminal (the “VMT” ) supplied for defence use is developed from one of the leading SNG antennas, and is certified for X/Ku band operation on Skynet defence and Eutelsat commercial satellites.  Baseband connectivity can be provided to interface with local IP router/multiplexer, dedicated data networks or with other specific equipment.

The VMT from Pico Services is currently in service with a European NATO defence organisation.
