Comtech’s BRIDGE solutions are designed to overcome geographical
and environmental challenges to deliver robust and resilient
connectivity to places where it was previously unavailable or
overlooked. The company’s BRIDGE solutions are tailored to meet
urgent needs of initial customer sets including emergency service
providers, remote communities, military operators, and maritime
customers.
“Our new BRIDGE connectivity solutions align with our mission to
democratize access to communications technologies and empower a
truly connected planet,” said Ken Peterman, President and CEO,
Comtech. “As the name implies, Comtech’s BRIDGE solutions will play
a significant role in bridging the digital divide and delivering
connectivity to commercial and government customers when and where
it matters most. BRIDGE provides a brand-new layer of connectivity
that complements existing satellite and terrestrial services to
keep people connected and help usher in a new era of unified hybrid
network architectures that will enable always-on, ubiquitous global
connectivity.”
Comtech’s BRIDGE solutions are designed to be infrastructure,
cloud, and application agnostic—enabling new options for
interoperable connectivity services and applications in the world’s
most challenging geographies. With Comtech’s software-defined
technology embedded at the core, BRIDGE solutions can continuously
evolve over time to meet emerging government and commercial use
cases as well as support future smart-enabled networks across a
variety of global markets and geographies.
The company’s BRIDGE solutions deliver vital information both
line of sight (LOS) as well as hundreds of miles over the horizon,
or beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS). Inclement weather, which can
interfere with satellite and terrestrial networks, enhances the
performance of Comtech’s BRIDGE solutions—allowing this new
technology to bridge the gap when other communications networks are
unavailable.
Over the summer, Comtech began introducing BRIDGE to select
customers. In August, the company successfully completed multiple
proof of concept demonstrations for its BRIDGE solutions for
maritime users. During the customer demonstrations, the BRIDGE
solutions showcased unique, robust, and resilient ship-to-shore
connectivity—delivering reliable on the move communications
capabilities nearly 70 miles from shore.
BRIDGE solutions are now available for U.S. and international
customers including:
- Emergency Response: Following broad scale natural
disasters such as hurricanes, communications infrastructure is
often heavily impacted. BRIDGE offer a new mechanism to rapidly
restore connectivity infrastructures, which can help keep
communities connected and enhance disaster relief efforts.
- Maritime: BRIDGE solutions provide maritime customers
with unique BLOS ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore long distance, high
throughput communications capabilities on the move. BRIDGE provides
a new alternative to maritime satellite and cellular communications
capabilities.
- Military Operations: BRIDGE deliver new network
agnostic, resilient and secure BLOS communications capabilities
designed significantly improve situational awareness for U.S. and
coalition forces. Comtech’s BRIDGE solutions also create new
interoperable connectivity layers needed to enhance Combined Joint
All Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) operations.
- Remote Communities: BRIDGE serves as a cost-effective
and reliable solution to provide high-speed internet access to
remote areas and isolated towns where access to satellite and
cellular service remains unavailable.
