Networking for Tactical Radios with ViaSat Data Controllers

Any Radio + VDC = Networked Tactical Radios

ViaSat Data Controllers (VDCs) work with all Combat Net Radios to deliver powerful, easy-to-use networking — even over severely degraded radio channels.  Using a tactical radio, computer, and VDC, you can send notes and files, share video, and run IP applications over legacy waveforms.  VDCs enable networking over tactical radios, so you can access Situational Awareness data (e.g. FalconView, C2PC, etc), video and imagery on demand, chat, messaging, and whiteboard collaboration — as well as notes, files, and email with attachments.  Lab and field test have repeatedly verified that the VDC product line is the highest-performance system for sending data over tactical radios, and works with all tactical radios available.

Why Choose ViaSat Data Controllers?

For sending data over tactical radios, the ViaSat Data Controller product family offers the best performance and most communications capabilities for any major brand of digital radio.  Network-disadvantaged warfighters who face severely degraded radio channels and legacy waveforms during the chaos of combat can turn their Combat Net radios into networked tactical radios by simply adding VDCs.

• Fastest, simple notes and files: Send notes and files even over severely degraded radio channel - even over channels too noisy for voice.  Lab and field tests have proven that VDCs send notes and files up to twice as fast as competing products.  Because VDCs send your notes and files faster, they use less radio power during transmission, so your radio batteries last longer.
