TeleCommunication Systems Wins Global Product Innovation AwardSep 26, 2012 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. (TCS), a provider of mobile communication technology, announced that its Tactical Transportable TROPO (3T) Solution has received the Frost & Sullivan 2012 Global Product Innovation Award. According to a release, this recognition is based on an independent Frost & Sullivan competitive analysis of the worldwide satellite communications market. 3T is a combination of the TCS battle-tested Secret Internet Protocol Router and Non-secure Internet Protocol Router Access Point (SNAP) Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) system and Comtech Systems' troposcatter technology, including its newest IP-capable terminal, the Modular Transportable Troposcatter System, which offers significant advances in technology while making a considerable reduction in size versus legacy systems. By bouncing a radio signal off the Earth's troposphere, rather than using a satellite transponder to transport the signal, this system overcomes significant terrain challenges that are extremely relevant in today's complex battlefield while avoiding the use of costly and scarce satellite resources. The award was given to TCS based on Frost & Sullivan's analysis of TCS against key competitors in five areas: 1) Innovative Element of the Product; 2) Leverage of Leading-Edge Technologies in the Product; 3) Value-Added Features/Benefits; 4) Increased Customer ROI; and 5) Customer Acquisition/Penetration Potential. According to Frost & Sullivan, 3T, " . . . is the most novel solution for long- and medium-range military communication and highlights the innovation necessary to increase U.S. military communication capabilities, while also lowering service costs." TCS SVP and General Manager of Government Solutions, Michael Bristol, said, "The TCS Tactical Transportable TROPO solution is on the ground providing our fighting forces with a proven, secure and cost-effective alternative to satellite bandwidth. We appreciate Frost & Sullivan recognizing this field-proven solution with their 2012 Global Product Innovation Award." Daniel Longfield, satellite industry analyst at Frost & Sullivan, said, "3T's solid value proposition has been recognized by Frost & Sullivan with the 2012 Global Product Innovation Award and is the result of the extensive research process behind the Global 2012 U.S. Government and Military Satellite Communication Market analysis. This solution is a clear example of the innovation and best practices in operation at TCS." More information: www.telecomsys.com ((Comments on this story may be sent to [email protected])) |
