Globecomm Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: GCOM – News), a leading global provider of satellite-based communications infrastructure solutions and services, announced today that it would introduce a new portable X-band satellite terminal at the SATCON 2009 exhibition and conference at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City on October 14-15. The TomCat™ X-Band terminal is a light-weight, man-transportable X-band satellite communications system that sets-up and can be operational within minutes. It is fully integrated and operates on a variety of power sources. It is ideally suited for tactical and other rapid-response applications that operate in harsh conditions and in remote locations. As part of Globecomm’s Explorer terminal product line, the TomCat™ X-Band terminal fits in a single transit case which meets the requirements for checked baggage aboard commercial airlines. User-friendly monitor and control features include built-in diagnostics, an integrated spectrum analyzer, and a comprehensive GUI (Graphic User Interface) for use with a laptop computer.
Globecomm will display the TomCat™ X-Band terminal and provide additional information on its unique design at Booth #725 on the show floor at SATCON 2009.
David Hershberg, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Globecomm Systems Inc., said: “The TomCat™ terminal represents the next stage in the evolution of our Explorer product line. It creates new, flexible and cost-effective comms-on-the-pause options for the small unit operating anywhere in the footprint of an X-band satellite.”
