TeleCommunication Systems Achieves Unprecedented Performance with Quad Diversity Tactical Transportable Troposcatter (3T) SystemANNAPOLIS, Md., Feb. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. (TCS) (NASDAQ: TSYS), a world leader in highly reliable and secure wireless communication technology, has successfully tested its quad diversity Tactical Transportable Troposcatter (3T) System, classified as AN/TSC-198 (V3), at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. The systems bounce microwave radio transmissions off the Earth's troposphere, enabling long-distance, beyond line-of-sight communications, even over rocky or hilly terrain that would block other point-to-point communications techniques. The technology is a much lower operating cost alternative to satellite communications in a variety of situations. The testing, in support of an Army program, was conducted in conjunction with TCS' partner Comtech Systems, Inc. Utilizing Comtech's 500-watt solid-state power amplifiers (SSPAs) and CS67500 series Troposcatter modems, TCS established and maintained an unprecedented 50 Mbps communication link between two TCS 3T systems separated by more than 100 miles. No other company in the defense industry has achieved and sustained this high level of data throughput over this great of a distance. NEWS FACTS:
