Inmarsat Signs Deal With Kratos to Extend L-TAC Mobile Satellite Communications System

Inmarsat is using multiple SpectralNet systems from Kratos Defense & Security Solutions in its L-band Tacsat (L-TAC) mobile satellite communications system, Kratos said Thursday. L-TAC enables "a UHF-like satellite capability" for use with UHF tactical radios, while using SpectraNet allows extension of L-TAC services to different satellites by digitizing RF signals for carriage on IP networks, Kratos said.
