Cobham showcased award-winning SAILOR 60 GX at CommunicAsia 2016

Cobham, a global organisation with a wide range of aerospace and defence capabilities, with more than 80 years in business, displayed a range of flexible solutions, both commercial off the shelf or niche/specialist products at CommunicAsia 2016, Singapore.

Cobham SATCOM division

· GX Offering – Cobham SATCOM’s established EXPLORER 5075GX terminal for land users and SAILOR 100 GX for ships, is joined by the new, award winning SAILOR 60 GX terminal for smaller vessels. All Cobham SATCOM Global Xpress systems are designed to leverage the power of Inmarsat’s new constellation, to deliver reliable, high band-width communication and connectivity,  on land and at sea.

· EXPLORER range – Setting new levels of installation flexibility and failover capability, the brand-new EXPLORER 540 is the world’s only M2M (Machine-to-Machine) terminal to offer dual-mode operation, over BGAN or 3G/4G.

· The ultra-portable EXPLORER 510 BGAN terminal and the flagship EXPLORER 710 BGAN, in addition to the innovative EXPLORER 8100 VSAT ‘Comms-On-The-Pause’ terminal, which deploys unique stabilisation technology, to secure a reliable link to the satellite.

· SAILOR Fleet One – Delivering off-the-shelf, cost-effective Inmarsat connectivity, the SAILOR Fleet One is the smart Satcom choice for owners of small commercial and leisure craft

Cobham WIRELESS division

· idDAS (intelligent digital distributed antenna system) – A robust in-building coverage solution that allows operators and infrastructure providers to dynamically move capacity around an area to serve a number of needs, while also reducing both CAPEX and OPEX. idDAS provides a coverage solution that is right-sized for the application and can be dynamically changed depending on demand. No more hardwiring of capacity to provision for peak demand. No more building a network, where chunks of capacity remain unused, for a large proportion of the time. Capacity can ‘breathe’ and move with demand.

· New OnBoard solution – Cobham Wireless’ new generation digital OnBoard Repeater is a flexible multiband coverage solution, optimised for mobile wireless applications on board trains, vessels or other moving vehicles. The totally new design puts focus on today’s requirements: size to match with various installation environments even when space is limited, minimized power consumption and heat dissipation, multiple digital filters for sufficient splitting of multiple operators and technologies and fast algorithms for gain adaption and isolation control, fit for high speed train deployment.
