Legacy downlinks can’t always keep pace with the ever-increasing demand for data. When low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites capture massive streams of critical intelligence, getting that data to the ground fast enough to be of use can be an operational bottleneck. Radio-frequency (RF) transmission can be slow and vulnerable to interception, jamming, and spoofing.
Gilat DataPath bridges the gap. In addition to our field-tested RF SATCOM solutions, we can deliver off-the-shelf optical communications infrastructure for whatever your mission requires and wherever your mission requires it.
When a LEO satellite passes over a ground station, you only have a few fleeting minutes to download critical intelligence. In critical situations, every second of delay is a vulnerability.
Optical communications solve the bandwidth and security restrictions of legacy RF. By utilizing advanced laser links, you can transmit and receive massive stores of encrypted data in a fraction of the time.
The technical barriers of atmospheric turbulence, low bandwidth, and limited spectrum that once made laser data unreliable have been completely resolved.
The new challenge is ground infrastructure. Optical communications has addressed the capacity issue and now operators need network-linked ground stations that can be positioned exactly where the data is required.
As the premier provider of transportable C6ISR solutions for defense customers, Gilat DataPath takes sophisticated optical ground stations and makes them fully transportable by use of our popular field proven DKET 463L platforms. Our systems integrate the entire ecosystem natively: advanced pointing, tracking, and telemetry alignment for precision targeting; integrated atmospheric compensation and predictive weather planning for environmental resilience; and plug-and-play integration into your existing operator architectures for seamless interoperability.
