Teen solves centuries-old math problem
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 18 (UPI) -- Hughes Network Systems and Tachyon Networks of California are collaborating to develop Advanced Airborne Networking Solutions for military and government use.
The companies said development of end-to-end, comms-on-the-move technology will be focused on manned and unmanned aircraft -- initially fixed-wing and later rotary wing aircraft, which require full-motion HD video transmission capabilities.
"We are pleased to be working with Tachyon on the development of airborne COTM solutions," said Rick Lober, vice president and general manager of Hughes' Defense & Intelligence Systems Division.
"Both Hughes and Tachyon have developed advanced technologies for airborne networking, which together offer an excellent opportunity to address the challenges associated with high-speed video transmission from various types of aircraft while in flight."
Hughes said Tachyon has developed its aXiom end-to-end satellite broadband solutions for air, land and sea and will integrate a key element -- the Linux-based aXiom Services Platform -- to the solutions resulting from its cooperation with Hughes.
The ASP facilitates seamless integration across all communications equipment onboard aircraft, as well as enabling interoperability with the end-to-end satellite network. The ASP also enables onboard display of all network monitoring applications and operational data with an easy-to-use graphical user interface.
Hughes recently demonstrated its Airborne Video Solution, which employs the high-performance Hughes HX router, for fixed wing aircraft. Hughes is building on its commercial aviation broadband offering, and cooperation with Tachyon will allow it to migrate this solution to new military and government programs.
