The Comtech Compact Over-the-Horizon Transportable Terminal (COMET™) is the smallest and lightest modular man-packable troposcatter system available, weighing only 50 lbs in an operational configuration and settable by one person. It provides Beyond-Line-of-Sight (BLOS) communications for distances up to 60 km and beyond, offering data rates from 5 to 60 Mbps and is interoperable with other Comtech terminals for various applications, including military, disaster recovery, and emergency restoral.
Key Capabilities
- Troposcatter can provide LOS, NLOS, and BLOS
- Troposcatter has a higher survivability than Microwave
and SATCOM because of its multipath reception and
highly sensitive receivers. - Troposcatter provides inherent LPG/LPI/LPD/LPE based
on the scattered nature of its signal - Operates in satellite congested or denied environments.
- Troposcatter is a low latency transmission typically
operating between 6-8m - In conjunction with DSSS Troposcatter can operate as
low as 50uw (microwatts). This is 100 times less than
LOS systems. There are no SAR’s with Troposcatter…it’s
all free bandwidth
