Airbus, GRC, Avanti and Get SAT To Provide High-Speed, Secure Satcom-On-The-Move Connectivity
TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 18, 2021, /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Airbus Defence and Space, GRC Ltd., Avanti Communications Group plc and Get SAT 
Ltd. have signed a multi-million dollars contract to deliver high-speed, secure 
satcom-on-the-move connectivity. GRC have partnered with Airbus to deliver 
hardware, training and support for Get SAT Micro sat terminals on Avanti 
airtime, allowing users to access high-speed voice and data in some of the most 
challenging environments on the planet.

The solution was selected following extensive trials by Airbus and GRC together 
with the customer, ensuring terminals were robust enough and able to provide 
the required Committed Information Rate (CIR) to the user, on a high-throughput 
service using Ka-band satellite capability. 

Incorporating GRC's mag-mount system, the Micro SAT 
[https://www.getsat.com/products/micro-sat-lm/] can be securely mounted as a 
walk-on-fit, without permanent vehicle modifications, allowing users to be 
connected within minutes and be moved between vehicles as required.

Richard Budd, Head of the UK & US Secure Communications business at Airbus 
said: "Providing this high-throughput SATCOM on the Move capability is an 
exciting and innovative development. This capability will ensure that users can 
enjoy hi-speed data rates while on the move. Our experts work together with the 
end-users to ensure requirements are fully met." 

Airbus and GRC will also deliver a full training package to users in addition 
to ongoing 24/7 support offered through its experienced engineering teams.

Steve Slater, Managing Director at GRC said: "This contract means a lot to GRC 
who as an SME are delighted to be delivering a significant and much needed 
capability. The terminals being delivered are also suitable for maritime use 
and therefore are able to fit wider needs." 

Donald Walker, Director of Government Sales at Avanti: "We've worked hard with 
GRC and Get SAT to prove that Avanti's high throughput Ka-band satellites and 
these small terminals can deliver genuine capability enhancements to critical 
end user groups. We're delighted to add this Land and Maritime "Satellite on 
The Move" capability into our portfolio."

Kfir Benjamin, Get SAT CEO: "The collaboration with GRC and Avanti is very 
important to Get SAT and brings to the end users, not only the terminals but a 
turn key solution [https://www.getsat.com/satcom-solutions-for-any-mission/] 
for Satcom wherever and whenever they need bandwidth."
