TacSat Overview
The TacSat unit is a rapid deployable emergency communications framework
used to assist emergency response units and provide system infrastructure.
TacSat is a modular system, with each module consisting of self contained units
for easy transport and deployment. Designed for rapid response, TacSat also
performs as a short and long-term replacement for communications
infrastructure.
Modules
The TacSat core system consists of the following modules. These modules are
expandable and more can be added on-the-fly. Many of the TacSat modules are
designed to be plug-and-play within the TacSat system.
SatLink - Backhaul communications
module
The SatLink module is the lifeline to the real world. By providing a robust
satellite network connection to the TacSat system, the SatLink module provides
Internet access, Voice/Telephone communications, and Fax/Data capabilities.
The SatLink can provide the TacSat system with network speeds of up to 10mbps
down / 2mbps up.
MiSC - Mesh Integrated System Controller
The MISC module is the brain of the TacSat Emergency LAN (TLAN) Network.
The MiSC provides the network management and control over the Mesh-Enabled
TLAN.
TLAN - Tactical Local Area Network
The TLAN is the backbone of the TacSat network. Harnessing the power of
Mesh Enabled Architecture, each device within the TacSat TLAN makes the network
more robust. The TLAN is a self-healing, self-replicating network that is
rapidly deployable.
Wi-Fi - Legacy Network
The Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g) legacy network is provided to connect end user
devices to the TLAN. The TacSat system includes end user devices (laptops,
PDAs etc.) which connect directly to the TLAN, so a wi-fi network is provided
to allow other devices not within the TacSat system to connect.
vTac - Video Communications
The vTac module enables users within the TacSat network to communicate
visually. By providing a conference server, users in remote locations can
video conference with incident commanders, allowing them to survey situations,
as well as share documentation and other files.
vTacRemote - Remote Surveillance
The TacSat system includes several remote surveillance modules, which allow
the incident commander and other users within the network to view remote
locations.
