Land Mobile Radio

Spectrum for Land Mobile Radio (LMR) has become increasingly limited as bandwidth hungry applications proliferate and agencies vie for a shrinking bandwidth pool. Agiosat offers an innovative approach to "increase" spectrum utilizing the Agiosat North American Public Safety Network (NAPSN) to perform LMR backhaul trunking and multi-casting between dispatch centers and agency repeater sites.

Utilizing Agiosat for LMR backhauls is resilient, terrestrially-independent and very cost-effective. Innovative Agiosat Defi Satellite systems at repeater sites are a fraction of the cost of a microwave backhaul system - yet every bit as robust. There is zero terrestrial spectral coordination or use either. The satellite system is virtually maintenance-free, and has an exceptionally long life cycle.

Satellite bandwidth costs are both predictable and economical over the life span of the network. Each node on an LMR system utilizing satellite-based backhaul - whether primary or as a back-up - eliminates cascading network failures as it goes directly to the dispatch or radio voting location without dependence on inteleaved terrestrial infrastructure. Utilizing the Agiosat NAPSN satellite for backhaul creates a diverse resilient route that works around any site outages because each satellite link is established independently on the network.
