Ultra ORION Provides Integrated Maritime Communications

LONDON, September 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --





New radio system providing multichannel high-capacity connectivity across networks



The Ultra ORION radio solves many problems for maritime organisations, both in the
defence and public safety sectors; it is suitable for a wide variety of missions such as
anti-piracy, counter-terrorism and border or coastal security.



Paul Zweers, Vice President, Business Development & Strategy, Ultra Electronics, TCS
stated: "One of the main issues facing smaller maritime platforms, such as patrol boats,
is lack of connectivity to the Common Operating Picture. Currently, these platforms cannot
send or receive video or large map files and have very limited interoperability with other
vessels, agencies and shore-based headquarters. The addition of an Ultra ORION data node
on each platform will greatly enhance mission effectiveness." With the Ultra ORION radio
system, maritime assets will be able to deliver high-definition video exchange, increased
situational awareness, sensor fusion and relay capabilities to support
beyond-line-of-sight operations.



Ultra ORION is the 4th generation of high-capacity line-of-sight (HCLOS) radio
manufactured by Ultra Electronics, TCS. This multi-channel, multi-band radio system
performs the role of high-capacity backhaul for tactical networks interconnecting C4ISR
elements. It can also act as a backhaul repeater, range extension node, an aggregation/
distribution and access point, a WLAN or a remote station at the network's edge.



This revolutionary radio system will be on display at booth S2-380 of the DSEI
tradeshow, taking place from 10th to 13th September, 2013
