Navlink
This product interfaces with the on-board nav and radio of a
mobile platform to provide position and status of other linked
platforms. Canadian Coastguard has purchased 80 NavLinks and
installed these on its helicopters, ships and aircraft.

Ipds Mes Physical Layer Tester (iplt)
The Physical Layer Tester implements the Inmarsat Packet Data
Service (IPDS) channels at L-Band to allow communication between
the Protocol Tester and the MES under test. In addition, it
analyzes the characteristics of the channels received from the
MES, and allows channel impairments to be introduced into the
channels provided to the MES, to verify compliance with the IPDS
performance specifications.
Inmarsat Mini-m/M4 Physical Layer Tester (mplt)
The MPLT replaces Inmarsat's previous Earth Station Test Set
(ESTS). It provides Land Earth Station (LES), Mobile Earth
Station (MES), and Network Co-ordination Station (NCS)
simulation functions, to enable manufacturers to develop and
test their MES and LES implementations of the mini-M/M4 system.
The MPLT implements the communication channels required to allow
the PTT to verify the correct operation of the LES or MES under
test. The channels are implemented at IF for LES testing and at
L-band for MES testing.
The signaling information and user data carried on the channels
is normally generated and analyzed by a Protocol Tester. In
addition, the MPLT can generate and analyze the signaling
information and user data locally, and SCPC user data can be
generated and analyzed by external test sets. The MPLT provides
a comprehensive scripting language to allow operation in the
absence of the PTT.
The MPLT provides the additional capabilities of introducing
selectable channel impairments into the transmitted signals, and
of analyzing the characteristics of the received signals.
Inmarsat Aeronautical Ground Data Unit (gdu)
Inmarsat Aeronautical Ground Data Units (GDUs) are used to
supervise the testing of Aeronautical Earth Stations (AESs)
against requirements in the Inmarsat Aeronautical System
Definition Manual (SDM) and to permit monitoring of Ground Earth
Station (GES) and AES performance in an operational system.
Bgan Physical Layer Tester (bplt)
The BGAN Physical Layer Tester (BPLT) is a software application
that runs on the generic high-rate Physical Layer Tester (PLTH)
platform. The BPLT supports the testing of physical layer
performance and protocol implementation of Radio Access Nodes
(RANs) and User Terminals (UTs) implementing Inmarsats
Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) service.
Transmit Subsystem
The Transmit Subsystem (TxS) is a generic, high-availability
platform for satellite and wireless communication hubs.
Using the TxS platform, SPCI can quickly and efficiently deliver
a satellite or wireless base station solution for any
application, with minimal development risk and cost.
The TxS is based on commercial off-the-shelf Compact PCI
architecture. Each Compact PCI system is populated with a CPU
and a number of SPCI proprietary IF Modem cards that implement
the application wireless or satellite channels. IF Modems are
DSP-based, allowing them to support a wide variety of channel
types, modulation schemes and data rates.
