Lite Coms Baseband Installation

By Uncategorized

The Lite Coms MRZR continues to delight customers with the addition of DTECH M3X products to provide a complete solution for multiple users in the field.   The Lite Coms implementation makes use of the standard DTECH  M3X mounts that allow the equipment to be stacked and slid in/out of the transit case.  The removable and isolated rack makes configuration a breeze inside or outside of the vehicle. This integration also features a custom, deployable transit case solution for customer housed electronics.  We are always looking to create and implement anything our customers can dream up!

Lite Coms® integration team is skilled at creating systems that are fit for use in hostile environments.  These Tactical Modem Assemblies (TMA) house iDirect modems, alongside a Comtech 5650-C modem. They have a safe, cushiony ride as this MRZR flies through the air in the hands of skilled operators.  Our integrations are easily removable without any permanent modifications to the vehicles.  We strive to create clean and elegant installations that our end users are proud of!

Lite Coms MRZR Integration

By Blog Post

This past summer Lite Coms® completed a vehicular integration project for a loyal customer.

The Lite Coms® team was presented with the design challenge of integrating a 1.0m antenna dish as well as a mounted flat panel onto a vehicle that was compatible for stowage and transportation in the onboard cargo bay of a V-22 Osprey aircraft.

The vehicle was already designed to fit into the tight space with a roll cage that maneuvered into a lowered position for transportation, so the addition of two pieces of satellite communications capable equipment that could not only perform in the way designed but also collapse into a stowable position was a formidable challenge.

The Lite Coms® engineering staff integrated the 1.0 meter auto-acquire antenna on to the rear of the vehicle on a mount with an operational position, as well as a different stowing position, depending on if the antenna were in use or being stowed for transportation. The flat panel antenna was added to the existing mechanics of the vehicle and was given two possible positions for deployment or safe stowage.

This project proved to be a huge success for Lite Coms® and a great opportunity for our team to prove their determination for finding the best solution even in the face of design constraints and challenges, for the result of customer delight. 

EMI Testing Advancement

By Blog Post

Lite Coms, with our partners, have completed MIL-STD-461 EMI testing on the Lite-Sat® 2.2A (AN/TSC-156E) for the Army’s Phoenix modernization program. 

EMI testing always presents unique challenges to overcome and we are appreciative to have amazing team members in Georgia, North Carolina, and California that all came together to achieve this goal. 

2.2A Low-PIM Certification

By Blog Post

Lite Coms is excited to announce that our Lite Sat® 2.2 Auto Acquire terminal (AN/TSC-156E) has completed Phase 3 certification testing by The DEVCOM to operate Multi-Carrier X-Band over Wideband Global Satellite (WGS).  This terminal is the first and only multi-segmented carbon fiber antenna to be certified as a Low-PIM terminal!  We are very grateful for the hard work and dedication from all our partners to get to this point.  Our team always strives to create the most innovative, reliable, and functional equipment for the modern soldier.  Drop us an email if you would like to hear more about the many other advancements that have been implemented in this terminal!
