What Trends Are Reshaping The Future Of The Tactical Radios Market?
Key players in the tactical radio market, such as T-TAC, are innovating advanced solutions to establish their market supremacy. T-TAC, a tactical satellite communication solution, caters specifically to government and corporate sectors. In March 2023, Thuraya Telecommunications Company, originating from UAE and specializing in mobile satellite services, introduced T-TAC. This ground-breaking beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) communication technology provides uninterrupted communication across land, sea, and air. It successfully tackles the hurdles experienced in push-to-talk (PTT) systems used in remote areas or places suffering from poor line-of-sight due to obstacles or distance among field teams and their headquarters. T-TAC ensures secure communication by integrating current tactical Very High Frequency (VHF) or Ultra High Frequency (UHF) radios with a converter that connects to Thuraya's satellites through a single-hop link. This results in reliable BLOS communications without the need for expensive terrestrial infrastructure.
