Area Communication Systems

Our Multi-Media Area Communication System (MMACS) provides wide area communications for tactical deployments at Battalion, Brigade and Division. The system provides a high capacity backbone communications network using the HCLOS™ radio and an IP based switching core. The system provides VoIP telephony for the Command Posts together with C4ISR data exchange and video conferencing.

Radio Relay sub-systems

IP Based Radio Relay sub-systemsWe have delivered tactical radio relay sub-systems to a number of Air Defense and Army systems. These systems are contained in shelters or transit cases and contain radios, masts antennas and ancillaries necessary to support the transmission system. By custom designing each installation we ensure that the sub-system offers the customer the best operational performance in his environment.

High Capacity Radio (HCR)

Our latest product is the common platform HCR. This radio incorporates the best features of our AN/GRC-245 HCLOS and AN/GRC-512 ECCM radio, and is designed to provide reliable high capacity communication in tactical area communication systems and border surveillance systems. The software defined HCR radio supports multiple waveforms to suit different operational needs and traffic rates up to 34 Mb/s. The radio operates in the 4400-5000 MHz frequency range.

AN/GRC-245A HCLOS™ Radio

The AN/GRC-245A High Capacity Line of Sight (HCLOS™) radio is a software defined multi-channel radio that is available in Band 1 (224-400MHz), Band 3+ (1350 -2690MHz) and Band 4 (4400-5000MHz) The radio uses the US JTRS SCA V2.2 architecture for waveform flexibility and supports multiple waveforms and full duplex transmission rates up to 34 Mb/s. The radio will support both serial trunk groups and Ethernet traffic allowing it to bridge between the existing serial based systems and the new IP based systems.

Excellent Customer Support

Ultra-TCS has fielded numerous radio systems with Armies throughout the world and is well known for the quality of its support. We provide a depot level maintenance for our systems and provide long term support for our products.
