Business Wire
Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) and Coolfire Solutions, LLC
announce the availability of Reconn™ -- the first SATCOM toolkit in
one handheld device designed to locate, acquire, and sustain any
SATCOM link. The mobile device’s small size and light weight make
it ideal for conducting missions in remote and terrain-challenged
environments.
The Reconn mobile SATCOM toolkit enhances operator effectiveness
and significantly reduces training time and costs by leveraging
user-friendly applications that run on a smartphone connected to
the Reconn hardware.
Reconn integrates all tools and capabilities required by SATCOM
operators, including a spectrum analyzer, power meter, LNB tester,
and multimeter – all in a single package weighing less than 8
pounds. SATCOM Operators currently must use multiple devices, with
different interfaces and greater weight.
“Reconn brings SATCOM to your smartphone,” said Sheldon Fox,
group president, Harris Government Communications Systems. “By
combining all the necessary tools into one kit and streamlining
operations into simple workflows on a touch screen, this device
makes SATCOM operations much more user-friendly, and enables
information to be readily shared with engineering and support
personnel.”
"Reconn is a huge leap forward in SATCOM testing and
operations,” said Tom Cox, president, Coolfire Solutions™. “It
includes almost every tool and capability needed by a SATCOM
operator. Users will be able to set up, activate, monitor and
troubleshoot a satellite communications link anywhere in the world
without having to take months of engineering classes. Ultimately,
our goal is to make it easy for anyone familiar with a smartphone
to set up a satellite link, and to be able to carry this capability
in their laptop bag.”
As part of the joint development effort, Harris and Coolfire
Solutions™ expect to evolve the integration of hardware and
software applications to further enhance the SATCOM usability of
mobile devices.
