Integrated Communication Network
End-to-end secure communications linking headquarters, control centers, field vehicles and handheld users across HF, VHF, DMR, LTE and satellite layers.
Overview
A two-page system diagram from FAAB Group illustrating a complete Integrated Communication Network. It shows how a central control vehicle acts as the hub, connecting a headquarters base station, communication vehicles and mobile handheld users through multiple radio layers. The first page is a detailed connectivity architecture naming each node and its point-to-point (PTP) range; the second page maps the same network across terrain, color-coding the HF, VHF and DMR links and labeling their distances (1200 km, 1000 km, 30 km and 10 km spans).
The network is anchored by a central control vehicle that integrates multiple communication assets: a satellite antenna, an HF radio, a VHF radio, a DMR repeater and an LTE integrated base station, all tied together by an IP backbone and a dispatch platform.
HF long-range links provide point-to-point coverage up to 1200 km to an HF base station at headquarters, and up to 1000 km to a second HF radio node at a communication vehicle.
VHF links provide shorter point-to-point coverage up to 30 km, connecting the central control vehicle to a VHF radio at the communication vehicle.
DMR provides communication coverage up to 10 km, connecting the DMR repeater to a DMR mobile radio at the communication vehicle.
A VHF handheld radio connects to the network over a short-distance point-to-point link up to 10 km for mobile field users.
The LTE integrated base station provides local wide-area cellular-style coverage (labeled 'iBS Coverage') radiating out from the central control vehicle location.
