Terminal
First showing at Satellite 2007 show February 20-22
CARLSBAD, Calif. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) February 15, 2007 --
ViaSat Inc. (Nasdaq:VSAT) received the AN/PSC-14 designation from the
Department of Defense for its new Inmarsat IP-based Broadband Global
Area Network (BGAN) tactical terminal. The AN/PSC-14 is a unique
combination of the affordable BGAN terminal with a High Assurance IP
Encryption (HAIPE™) Type 1 security device,
providing the tactical user an integrated, ruggedized satellite
communications terminal for secure voice and broadband IP data. A
mock-up of the AN/PSC-14 and more information will be available in the
ViaSat booth at Satellite 2007, February 20-22 at the Washington DC
Convention Center (booth 627).
The AN/PSC-14 uses ViaSat AltaSec®
IP inline encryption equipment to provide HAIPE™
version 1.3.5 Type 1 information assurance. The secure BGAN terminal is
in the certification process with the National Security Agency and will
then progress to Inmarsat type approval. AN/PSC-14 capabilities will be
demonstrated during the course of factory acceptance testing and
military field trials.
The BGAN service is the world’s first mobile
communications service to deliver simultaneous voice and broadband IP
data to a highly portable device on a global basis. BGAN terminals
support standard IP speeds of up to half-a-megabit per second and
streaming IP data rates of up to 256 kbps.
