Ensuring the stability of military communications in a tactical environment demands that reliability and security are an absolute.  Using the best available technology while working within the realities of existing infrastructure, equipment and security parameters mandates a solution built precisely for military applications.  Our experts understand the multiple requirements and challenges of critical communications and have developed solutions specifically for these critical applications.

Like civilian applications, the bundling of services such as voice, video, and data into one secure package delivered over a single communications platform has become the designated objective.  Transmitting data fast over IP based transmission systems while ensuring bandwidth and reliability are requirements of emerging converged networks. Secure encryption of data is another requirement.  Our product, the FCSS-T1E spoke satisfies these objectives.

The FCSS-T1E Spoke solution offers secure and reliable solutions for bridging between legacy technology and state-of-the -art communications.  Our system works with all security devices including serial or IP encryptors. Examples are shown below.

FCSS-T1E is the right solution in Department of Defense applications.  Proven and evaluated in joint military exercises it passed both secure and non-secure voice, video and data traffic over an encrypted IP satellite using WIMAX communications configuration.  In each configuration, our equipment maintained the integrity of required TRANSEC and encryption technologies while providing efficient bandwidth to accomplish the task.  Please note we recommend the use of serial TRANSEC devices to ensure proper encryption on over-the-air links. 

The FCSS-T1E merges existing technologies into a single Tactical Access Communication Platform that interfaces with NSA Type 1 Certified TRANSEC encryption (KIV-19A, KIV-7M. KIV-7HSB) or COMSEC devices up to the TS/SCI level.  Our product works with multiple WIMAX systems over wired, wireless and multiple IP Satellite systems, including IDirect and Linkway.  With operator-controlled WAN bandwidth management, the system supports secure transmissions from Voice, Video, and Data services within multiple security enclaves simultaneously. The diagram below illustrates the FCSS-T1E Hub connected to multiple FCSS-T1E Spokes in a secure converged services point to multipoint environment. Either of the FCSS-T1E systems can also provide secure critical converged services in a point to point environment.

Bandwidth is a valuable commodity in the tactical arena.  Maximizing your allocated bandwidth is a crucial and economical objective.  The FCSS-T1E gives you the option to control bandwidth allocations in streamline operations.  Our product offers flexibility allowing your personnel to decide which service gets priority in the transmit queue.  It offers management features which allow operators to guarantee transmission of high priority data enabling timely communications of classified or unclassified communications as determined by operational needs.

The FCSS-T1E Spoke is lightweight and compact. This system simplicity is an asset in deployment.  You can connect your NIPRNET, SIPRNET and T1’s to the FCSS-T1E Spoke and package those services into one secure data stream that can be input on a serial or IP transmission system.
