iDirect satellite router board modems support USSOCOM mobile VSAT terminals


iDirect Government Technologies will be supporting U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) operations through the SATCOM L-3 GCS Hawkeye III Lite 1.2M and Hawkeye III 2.0M VSAT terminals.

Designed by L-3 GCS, Hawkeye VSAT units support the Special Operations Forces Deployable Node-Family of Terminals (SDN-Lite FoT) secure satellite communications program. Both models use iDirect-designed iConnex e800 satellite router boards, which are smaller and lighter than their competitors.

The iGT iConnex satellite router board modems support data, voice, and video connectivity. Their high-speed data transmission, increased bandwidth capacity, and higher network availability greatly contribute to highly mobile military applications, such as the mobile VSAT platforms deployed by troops at the battlefront.

We are pleased to partner with L-3 GCS on the SDN-Lite FoT program,” said John Ratigan, iGT President, regarding IDirect's hand in providing American warfighters some of the most advanced and secure satellite communications networks in the market.

iGT and L-3 GCS continue to have a winning relationship and a common goal of developing high-quality, leading-edge satellite communications technologies for our troops,” agreed Bob Jacobson, President of L-3 GCS.

A wholly-owned subsidiary of VT iDirect, Inc., iDirect Government Technologies provides secure satellite-based voice, video, and data applications for military and government users. Its satellite IP solutions ensure critical satellite communications for a wide variety of military missions such as force protection, logistics and situational awareness, disaster recovery, and emergency response.
