SwiftLink^® SNAP Suite

In response to the warfighter's requirement for highly portable and interoperable tactical communications access for mission critical data while on remote assignment, TCS offers the SwiftLink^® SNAP (SIPR/NIPR Access Point) Suite of deployable satellite communication products.

The SwiftLink® SNAP Suite provides interoperability among three different SATCOM terminals utilizing Ku, Ka, X-band frequencies with L-band service available via the E500 BGAN terminal. It includes three interchangeable baseband solutions as well as an UPS System and laptop/VoIP phone accessories case to provide the warfighter with compact, lightweight, highly configurable SIPR/NIPR communications packages.

Bottom line: warfighters get the compact, easy-to-configure communication tools that keep them moving forward.

SNAP VSAT Overview

TCS offers two standard SNAP VSAT terminals featuring a unique pack-in-the-box pedestal design that is lightweight with fewer moving parts.

• SwiftLink SNAP 1.2M VSAT terminal—A pack-in-the-box Ku VSAT solution that also provides Ka connectivity with a simple feed boom assembly swap. It is designed for rapid deployment and ease of use in harsh operating environments.
• SwiftLink SNAP 2.0M VSAT terminal—Four-modem capable and interfaces with the SwiftLink 2710, 2720, and 2730 baseband network packages. As part of the SNAP suite of products, these packages provide the flexibility of multiple configuration options for the end-user.

SNAP Baseband IP Kits Overview

SwiftLink SNAP baseband packages are developed with proven components efficiently integrated into the smallest physical footprint possible without compromising performance in a variety of application environments. All three baseband packages allow for physical separation between NIPR and SIPR equipment and support HAIPE-compliant, Type 1 encryption.

• SwiftLink® SNAP 2710 Rack Mounted Transit Case—Enables easy access to internal components, physical separation between the SIPR and NIPR equipment, and allows end-users the flexibility of communicating across Ku, Ka, and X-bands with a network package that has been successfully fielded in harsh environments.
• SwiftLink® SNAP 2720 Embedded Network Package—Compact and lightweight and delivers robust communications capabilities in a small footprint. The SIPR and NIPR modules are physically separated and packed in a custom foam lined case. Interfacing with the SwiftLink SNAP 1.2M and 2.0M VSAT terminals, the SwiftLink SNAP 2720 allows end-users the flexibility of multiple communications configurations.
• SwiftLink® SNAP 2730 Micro Network Package—The smallest, most lightweight baseband network package in the SwiftLink SNAP suite. Weighing 38 lbs, the SwiftLink SNAP 2730 contains an integrated UPS and the smallest fully HAIPE-compliant, Harris SecNet 54 encryption device on the market.
