Broadband solutions provider Oceus Networks has expanded its fourth-generation (4G) Long Term Evolution (LTE) family of fully interoperable solutions to enable secure high-speed, high-capacity, voice, video, and data transmissions.
Ruggedized for extreme environments and situations, Oceus Networks’ Xiphos systems provide turnkey, easily deployable broadband networks wherever traditional communication infrastructures are unavailable or compromised, said the supplier. The expanded broadband solution suite, known as Xiphos R2, includes software enhancements that provide seamless mobility with handover among multiple Xiphos systems.
Consequently, according to the manufacturer, Xiphos R2 now provides nearly unlimited coverage when used in a network of systems, support for up to 'no practical limit' of subscribers, up to a thousand concurrent user sessions per system, and advanced self organizing networks (SON). In addition, it offers multi-frequency support with up to four different frequency bands per system, indoor and outdoor ruggedized configurations, and additional frequency bands: 700 (12, 14), 800 (20), 1900 (25) and TD-2300 (40).
Furthermore, Xiphos R2 also delivers enhanced Quality of Service (QoS), which enables prioritization of real-time sensitive data transmission for mission critical applications, for example, situational awareness, video streaming and VoIP.
In a statement, Douglas C. Smith, president and CEO, Oceus Networks, said, "Xiphos R2 offers the latest in advanced LTE broadband. Access to fast, mobile connectivity can literally save lives, and we are proud to be the first company to deliver a proven mobile tactical cellular solution to meet the highly sought after, but rare, resource of 4G LTE broadband anytime, anywhere. We will continue to innovate to meet the emerging mobile communications needs of our customers.”
According to Oceus Networks, The new Xiphos platform was unveiled at the 2012 Department of Defense Intelligence Information Systems (DoDIIS) Worldwide Conference in Denver. It was first introduced in May 2011.
Oceus Networks said that Xiphos is a proven COTS-based family of solutions that dynamically delivers 4G LTE broadband to enable many networked applications in demand by edge-positioned personnel, including high-definition video, massive voice and data delivery, embedded standards-based interoperable cellular functionality and other connectivity crucial to mission-critical operations.
