ECS Connect

Data Link Network Manager

Automated Data Link Network Manager, switching across COFDM, SATCOM, LTE, Cellular, and MESH
Reliable multi-domain connectivity for air, land, and sea missions
Enables continuous and secure Data Link communication in all environments
Increase operational usage
Backwards compatible to older generation networked ECS products
Works with all data link equipment not just ECS
Intelligent and automated

Product Description

ECS Connect is a unique airborne network manager that automatically switches between various transmission bearers (COFDM, SATCOM, LTE, Cellular, and MESH) to ensure continuous video, audio, and data transmission between air and ground, across the most challenging topographies and geographies. It solves the problem of network outages and signal black spots, providing uninterrupted communication where operational success is critical.

ECS Connect can be used in conjunction with the full ECS Evenlode capability but is also hardware agnostic to any airborne transmission bearer, allowing full provision for air to ground video, audio and IP data transmission.

ECS Connect is a one of a kind product that is new to the data link market. The manager will allow the users to always have a multiple communication access path without having any signal black spots – allowing those in the air and the ground to receive all audio and video data continuously.

Why buy ECS Connect?

With automation satellite changes, ECS Connect solves the problem of network outages through the air, especially with higher altitudes. ECS Connect accelerates and automates the switch to different available satellites so that the user can receive all video and audio data without loss of signal.

Aircraft Platforms

ECS Connect is available in compact hardware platforms, purpose-built to power both manned and unmanned rotary and fixed wing aircraft.

Model 8105 HF Multicoupler

8105 HF Multicoupler

Outstanding performance is assured

High-performance, cost-effective
Small land area
High dynamic range: 5 dB NF, +40 dBm IP3
Phase and amplitude matching: ± 2˚, ± 0.5 dB
Input overload protection and alert
Rugged modular design: 1–8 plug-in modules per chassis

Product Description

The versatile Model 8105 is an HF multicoupler that provides multiple phase and amplitude-matched outputs from a single or multiple RF antennas operating in the 2 to 30 MHz range. It consists of a standard 4U (19-in) rack-mount chassis holding one to eight plug-in multicoupler modules. Each module is a 1-IN x M-OUT, where M = 1, 2, 4, or 8. The full complement of eight modules offers a maximum of 8 inputs and 64 outputs, which can be configured in many ways, including cascading modules to provide up to 57 outputs from a single input. This flexibility enables the 8105 to provide highly cost effective RF distribution to multiple receivers from multiple-element antenna arrays. It is also ideal for distributing reference signals such as 5 or 10 MHz frequency standards.
