Rockwell demos HF Cellular system for Brazil

31st March 2016 - 13:23 GMT | by Shephard News Team

RSS

Rockwell Collins demonstrated its HF Cellular system for the Brazilian armed forces in the second half of 2015 in the Amazon Jungle environment, the company announced in late March.

The HF Cellular system aims to augment the quality and reliability of existing HF radio connections. The company demonstrated the system's ability to provide data and voice transmissions as well as real-time position reporting in the Amazon region.

Marcelo Vaz, managing director, Rockwell Collins do Brasil, said: 'Establishing reliable and secure long distance communications in remote areas of the Amazon region is a challenge for the armed forces. The HF Cellular system has demonstrated the capability to augment the existing HF infrastructure, allowing troops to connect with command centres more than 2,400km away using their existing manpack HF platoon radios.'

'Based on the results achieved and customer feedback, Rockwell Collins strongly believes that the HF Cellular technology can provide significant benefits to other countries in the region, offering a proven solution that will help fill the gap of beyond line of sight communications and position reporting in challenging environments such as remote jungle areas, for both military and disaster relief support operations.'
