PacStar Unveils Easy-to-Deploy Mobile Communications Solution

Posted on: Tuesday, 20 March 2007, 12:00 CDT

WASHINGTON and PORTLAND, Ore., March 20 /PRNewswire/ -- PacStar, a technology-based systems integrator that provides total communications solutions to the military, government and commercial customers, today announced the availability of the PacStar 3500, a deployable network communications terminal that produces the secure communications environment of a small office anytime and anywhere in the world.

The PacStar 3500 was created to give remote military teams, border patrol agents and emergency first responders a cost effective, robust, interoperable and easily transportable secure communications solution. Users benefit from an intuitive mobile satellite office capability that is easy to set-up and maintain. The PacStar 3500 will be available for demonstration March 20-22 at the FOSE 2007 Conference at the Washington DC Convention Center in Washington DC.

"Our commitment is to delivering advanced communications equipment that helps our soldiers, first responders and the government complete the mission," said Robert Frisbee, chief executive office, PacStar. "Unlike competing solutions, the PacStar 3500 is simple to operate, giving users with limited technology experience the ability to be up and running in a matter of minutes. The 3500 also provides immediate situational awareness, so that soldiers and emergency responders can take action more effectively because they have the most current information on the surrounding environment."

Introducing the PacStar 3500

The PacStar(TM) 3500 is a deployable system that creates the communications capabilities of a small office, anywhere in the world. It is based on a hardened laptop, satellite modem and military approved firewall, all integrated into an easy-to-use package. With components designed and built to U.S. military specifications, the 3500 meets the needs of an individual or small team for voice and data connectivity. Through its satellite mini-dish (included), the unit sends and receives both voice and data.

As simple to transport as a piece of luggage, the 3500 is a compact, integrated communications solution that is easy to stow and easy to deploy. When the team is at a remote site without phone infrastructure, the 3500 enables them to communicate both locally and globally. For situations where mobility is critical, the 3500 delivers an advanced capability in an easy-to- use form factor. No need to connect or configure in the field. Just open, power up, and go.

Meeting the Needs of Tomorrow's Force Structure

In the President's 2007 budget, "Modularity" (mobility, flexibility, and capability to operate autonomously) was specifically called out as a major defense initiative to be funded. The PacStar 3500 meets the requirements and can be deployed independently or as part of an integrated communications package. When used in conjunction with the PacStar 5500, the military and government receive a powerful and secure advanced deployable communications solution that provides voice and data services and small office functionality in the most remote regions of the world.

Additional Products

In addition to the PacStar 3500, the company develops and markets additional solutions geared to the military and government. The PacStar 5000 Series includes the PacStar 5500 system, a self-managed, feature-rich and highly secure deployable communications solution that includes wireless and wireline connectivity for both local and wide area networks. Unique to the 5500 is PacStar's patented IQ-Core(TM) software, which automates the difficult requirements of set-up and configuration and eliminates the need for specialized IT staff in the field, making the 5500 easy to use and manage. The system is portable, hardened, meets military standards and delivers high bandwidth capabilities anywhere in the world and is an ideal solution for use in war zones, disaster or remote areas.
