COMSAT has tested and implemented its L-band satellite connectivity technology on multiple aerial and maritime platforms for the U.S. government, Satnews reported Tuesday
The Wideband Steaming L-Band system is designed to increase the performance of terminals via a communications link from antenna-equipped ground vehicles, fixed-wing aircraft and ground vehicles.
WiSL uses an Inmarsat-built space and ground network to help users transfer data at a speed of up to 2.8 megabytes per second.
The system is built to employ commercial equipment and function in locations covered by Inmarsat’s satellite constellation.
Herndon, Va.-based COMSAT offers satellite connectivity services to the government, military and commercial sectors.
