This
year,
AAE
Systems,
Inc.
(AAE)
has
reached
a
major
milestone
as
it
celebrates
25
years
of
innovation
in
delivering
comprehensive
satellite-based
communications
solutions
to
its
international,
multi-industry
customer
base. To
commemorate
its
silver
anniversary,
it
will
release
its
lightweight
mobile
communications
trailer
(LMCT)

product
line,
in

The
LMCT
solution
is a
trailerized
suite
for
rapid-deployable
communications
and
backup
connectivity. Each
trailer
contains
a
comprehensive
collection
of
voice,
video,
and
data
systems.
Connectivity
is
quickly
established
through
the
integration
of
an
auto-acquisition
antenna
and
an
Eclipse
satellite
router.
The
bandwidth
on
demand
Eclipse
MF-TDAMA
DAMA
modem
creates
a
network
gateway
supporting
various
forms
of
communication
inter-connectivity
built
around
IP
broadband.
An
extensive
variety
of
primary
communications
systems
and
subsystems
are
included
on

Applications
of
the

are
virtually
limitless
as
AAE
can
customize
each
trailer
to
suit
any
mission-specific
operability
requirements,
from
defense,
disaster
response
and
humanitarian
aid,
or
wherever
mobile
communications
deployment
is
needed.
Founded
in
1984,
AAE
has
a
rich
history
in
developing
satellite
and
other
wireless
technologies.
At
its
start,
the
company
provided
satellite-based
communications
systems,
contract
maintenance
and
operation
services,
and
Land
Mobile
Radio
systems
to
customers
in
the
Middle
East
and
Africa.
By
the
late
1990’s,
AAE
focused
its
efforts
in
deploying
DAMA
based
satellite
solutions
supporting
voice,
data,
and
video
communications
for
a
number
of
industries.
This
effort
was
supplemented
with
the
release
of
the
first
generation
of
Eclipse
digital
satellite
routers. AAE
made
further
additions
to
its
global
portfolio,
delivering
solutions
of
customers
in
the
Americas,
Europe,
and
Asia
while
maintaining
active
deployments
in
the
Middle
East
and
Africa.
Other
related
communications
projects
were
undertaken
in
wireless
architectures
using
GSM
cellular
radios;
land
mobile
radios;
HF
command
and
control
systems;
and
wireless
local
area
networks
(WLANs).
Today,
the
company
addresses
two
core
business
functions;
a
manufacturer
of
satellite
networking
hardware
and
software
and
a
systems
integration
service
provider. With
its
unique
Eclipse
product
line,
its
global
expertise
in
turnkey
satellite
deployments,
and
its
commitment
to
technological
innovation,
AAE
is
able
to
provide
elegant,
end-to-end
communications
solutions
customized
to
fit
any
networking
requirement. The
trailer
is
the
latest
example
demonstrating
AAE’s
capabilities
and
as
such,
is
appropriate
for
commemorating
25
years
of
excellence
in
providing
satellite-based
turnkey
communications
solutions.
