ViaSat AN/PSC-14(C) BGAN Integrated Terminal Receives Inmarsat Case
Approval
Only Rugged Terminal Providing Portable BGAN SATCOM and Network
Encryption
CARLSBAD, Calif. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) September 3, 2008 --
ViaSat, Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT) has received Inmarsat Case Approval for the
ViaSat AN/PSC-14(C) rugged Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN)
integrated terminal. With Case Approval the AN/PSC-14(C) can be used
throughout the Inmarsat BGAN network. The AN/PSC-14 is unique in the
family of Inmarsat terminals as the only BGAN terminal that is
ruggedized for portable or vehicle rack-mount communication, and that
also provides HAIPE™
IS Type 1 IP network security.
BGAN is the world’s first mobile
communications service to deliver simultaneous voice and broadband IP
data to a portable device across most of the world’s
landmass. BGAN terminals support standard IP speeds of up to
half-a-megabit per second and streaming IP data rates of up to 256 kbps.
“The PSC-14 is a welcome complement to the
BGAN family of terminals for military users, and Inmarsat is pleased to
grant case approval,” said Sal Manno, director
of Army programs at Inmarsat. “This latest
ViaSat BGAN product offering is an important milestone in the
development of a BGAN terminal with HAIPE encryption inside.”
“The AN/PSC-14(C) can provide voice and high
bandwidth, beyond-line-of-sight encrypted IP reach-back in conditions
other BGAN terminals can survive only when turned off and tucked away in
one or more rugged cases,” said Doug Poorman,
ViaSat BGAN terminal program manager. “The
multi-function AN/PSC-14 provides a full eight hours of transmit time
using common battery packs used by other military radios or can operate
using a standard 12-volt vehicle power adapter.”
National Security Agency certification for the secure
BGAN terminal is pending. The AN/PSC-14(C) is complemented by the
ViaSat VRT-100 that provides voice and IP services without encryption to
enable rugged communication for commercial and military operations. More
details on the features of the AN/PSC-14(C) and VRT-100, including how
to buy or arrange for a demonstration, can be found at bgan.viasat.com.
