GEOBEAM tool for tactical communications planning and management

In the frame of ICARUS Integrasys has extended the capabilities of its GEOBEAM product —so far used for satellite networks planning— to support planning, monitoring and optimisation of integrated multi-radio tactical communication networks addressing the new demands of high-tech search and rescue teams.

The developed network planning and management features fully exploit the GEOBEAM ability to accurately characterize communication components, propagation environments, interference conditions and vehicles platforms in order to assess the global network performance over wide operation areas; as well as the performance of individual terminals along given mission routes. GEOBEAM base capabilities have been complemented with key extensions representing ICARUS; such as UHF/2.4GHz/5GHz propagation models in indoor, rubble and sea environments; capacity models for WLAN mesh networks; or proper graphical interfaces for tactical mission operators.
