Tricom research has some fantastic, manportable communications system packaging solutions. Using standard Storm/Hardigg type cases, systems that would normally require bulky vehicle type racks and docks are now mounted in hand or man-packable configurations that can be popped open and used quickly without dealing with a sea of cables, connectors, or bulk.
Hands-on fiddling with the systems revealed lots of attention to detail and significant input by military communications personnel, especially those who operate out of non-standard vehicles or need to be able to set up C2 without a 463L pallet of hardware. Open the box, plug in the antenna, and start talking.
Additionally, the Tricom rep was particularly proud of the thermal tolerances in the hardware. If the customer supplied radio and operator can take the heat, the Tricom packaging and amplifier solutions won’t be the link that holds you back.
