ARINC Incorporated and Lemko Corporation successfully demonstrated the use of 4G LTE technology to provide seamless data transmission and streaming video through a satellite connection.
The two companies teamed up to combine ARINC's RapydConnex(SM) mobile edge satellite broadband communications platform and Lemko's distributed mobile wireless network (DiMoWiNe) for their test. Lemko's DiMoWiNe links up 2G/3G GSM, CDMA, EVDO commercial and tactical networks, and universal mobile telecommunications systems via satellite links provided by ARINC. For its part, ARINC worked on optimizing and sustaining satellite connection speeds.
The companies' test proved a success. The ARINC-Lemko 4G LTE rig was able to sustain speeds of 2 megabits per second for both uploads and downloads. Streaming video tested on the system ran seamlessly.
ARINC and Lemko's breakthrough test established them as some of the very first companies to demonstrate 4G LTE connectivity over a satellite connection.
The military and public safety markets will be able to benefit from this enhanced ability to deploy satellite-supported 4G LTE systems. Users will be able to establish independent 4G LTE cellular networks, which can then be customized to suit their unique needs.
The military's tactical communications network employs important mobile broadband applications that can be served by these networks. Troops will be able to rapidly deploy some of the most advanced mobile communications available even in battlefield situations.
Using LTEs will allow first responders to deplyo and retain advanced satellite-based communications in the critical minutes after a catastrophe. The LTE's independent nature renders it resistant to the typical disruption wrought by a disaster on traditional methods of communication. And public safety personnel will be able to access emergency services and provide life-saving information with running into the risk that their critical call will be disrupted or hijacked.
