Description

RBC Signals has developed a dual-use, world wide network of ground stations for satellite communications that are available on an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) basis. Air Force program managers are constrained by the availability of existing satellite ground stations. Program managers that require satellite ground stations for important, but lower priority test and demonstration missions have significant challenges securing antennas for their missions. Air Force personnel can have secure scheduling access via API's to the RBC Signals Ground Station Network. The RBC Signals ground station network results in greater scheduling flexibility, greater network resiliency, lower latency in retrieving data from satellites, and increased capacity to download data from satellites. RBC Signals supports a wide array of frequency bands such as VHF, UHF, L, S, C, X, Ku, and Ka . RBC Signals Ground Station Network includes over 60 antennas in over 40 locations around the world.
