Compact VDC-500

Routing and TCP/IP services over noisy half-duplex low data rate radio communication channels in a small form factor.

Applications:
IP net access, email, chat, messaging, whiteboard collaboration, IP over Combat Net Radio

Technologies:
Error correction, TCP/IP, Routing, SMTP email, FTP file transfer

Run net-centric web applications over your existing combat net radio with the Compact VDC-500 Data Controller.  The VDC-500 works with any tactical radio to deliver the Common Operating Picture - even over severely degraded radio channels.  With a ViaSat Data Controller (VDC), you can send error-free data and employ TCP/IP services over existing radios, creating network-centric connections that link warfighters on the tactical edge to the Global Information Grid (GIG).

Using a combat net radio, computer, and Data Controller, you can run critical combat communications applications such as Cursor-on-Target, Situational Awareness, Blue Force Tracking, whiteboard collaboration, chat, messaging, and email.

The Compact VDC-500 performs all of the functions of the VDC-500, built into a package weighing a mere two pounds.  The device features mroe robust power regualtion and conforms to MIL-STD-1275B, making it ideal for portable and vehicle use.
