SWE-DISH Suitcase Terminal Is the First X-Band Ultra-Portable, High-Bandwidth Mobile SATCOM System Approved to Operate on XTAR

STOCKHOLM, Sweden – April 6, 2009 – SWE-DISH Satellite Systems AB, a DataPath® company specializing in compact, quick-to-air and easy-to-use mobile satellite communications (SATCOM) equipment, has received XTAR approval for the SWE-DISH Suitcase® CCT120 ultra-portable SATCOM terminal to operate on its X-band satellite system. The Suitcase CCT120 is now the first terminal in its class to receive XTAR operational approval. The Suitcase CCT120 is a highly compact and quick-to-air broadband satellite terminal, featuring a 1.2-meter antenna and advanced CommuniCase® Technology (CCT). XTAR’s approval assures the system’s deployability for U.S. customers and confirms the system’s high level of performance.

XTAR, LLC is the only U.S. provider of commercial X-band services, focused on U.S. and allied government (military and civil agency) users worldwide. Its high-powered transponders enable operations with smaller tactical X-band terminals such as the Suitcase CCT120. XTAR owns and operates the XTAR-EUR satellite, located at 29 degrees East longitude, and XTAR-LANT, a payload on HISDESAT's SPAINSAT satellite located at 30 degrees West longitude. Together, these X-band satellites represent the emergence of a new offering in government communications services and cover a geographic region that stretches from Denver east to Singapore, including the entire continents of Africa and South America. The Suitcase CCT120 has been successfully used on both XTAR-EUR and XTAR-LANT satellites.

XTAR is also backwards compatible with existing X-band terminals and infrastructure. XTAR’s high power transponders allow all users, including those with small and/or legacy terminals, to receive and transmit data at demonstrably higher rates than previous X-band capacity. XTAR provides high-powered satellite coverage whenever and wherever it is needed. Military units and other users can move their X-band spot beam coverage any distance required, in real time. The X-band is also less vulnerable to rain and sandstorm fading than higher frequencies such as Ku and Ka bands.

The Suitcase CCT120 is part of the CommuniCase Technology family of products, which is based on a common modular system architecture that features multiple modems, amplifiers and transceivers (Ku, Ka and X band) that can easily be switched out and plugged in to another CCT product or for a new system configuration. This feature enables users to quickly adapt systems for rapidly evolving operational needs.

“We are very pleased that the Suitcase CCT120 is the first of its kind to receive approval to operate on the XTAR system,” said Lars Jehrlander, CEO of SWE-DISH. “This is a positive step for our efforts to address the needs of government and commercial users in the U.S. market. For a new product such as our Suitcase CCT120, XTAR acceptance validates the quality and performance of the terminal. This is yet another important milestone for SWE-DISH’s distinct ultra-portable offerings and the advantages they offer in mobility, performance and flexibility.”

According to Dr. Denis Curtin, chief operating officer of XTAR, LLC, “We applaud SWE-DISH on the development of its new Suitcase CCT120 terminal. We actively support the development of X-band compatible terminals that meet the needs of U.S. and allied warfighters around the globe.”
