Deployable Multi-Band Radio Base Station Navy SBIR FY2012.2 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2012.2 Topic No.: N122-148 Topic Title: Deployable Multi-Band Radio Base Station Proposal No.: N122-148-0627 Firm: W5 Technologies, Inc. 120 Rachel Drive Huntsville, Alabama 35806 Contact: John Rabo Phone: (480) 422-6009 Web Site: www.w5tech.com Abstract: WCDMA repeater payloads being developed for deployment on unmanned aerial vehicles will provide enhanced beyond line of sight coverage with guaranteed Quality of Service for the warfighter. To become a reality, these payloads will require deployable multiband base stations to serve as the ground infrastructure. The base station will be designed in this project, thereby enabling this network architecture and revolutionizing battlefield communications. Benefits: The warfighter will benefit from this innovation by enhanced (e.g. polar region) coverage from the additional WCDMA payloads. In many regions, he will then be served by a choice of WCDMA beams, eliminating the single point of failure of a single beam. Return
