Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about Commcrete’s satellite communication solutions
About Commcrete & Our SATCOM Technology
Commcrete is a developer and manufacturer of mission-critical satellite communication solutions, delivering narrow-band SATCOM systems for tactical communications, public safety, Search and Rescue (SAR) teams, and commercial operations.
Commcrete enables assured satellite connectivity without clear sky visibility, any antenna alignment, or complex setup, ensuring resilient communications in contested, denied, and degraded environments.
Traditional satellite communications often fail in real operational conditions due to:
- Obstructed sky view
- Complex deployment and alignment
- Large antennas and high-power consumption
- Vulnerability to jamming and EW Commcrete removes these constraints by delivering field-proven, resilient SATCOM on-the-move, designed to keep forces and first responders connected when it matters most.
Commcrete delivers:
- Utilizing L-Band over GEO satellites
- Narrow-band satellite communications optimized for voice and data in any weather condition
- SATCOM on-the-move (SOTM) without precise antenna pointing
- Assured connectivity in urban, forested, maritime, and mountainous terrain
- Software-defined, modular architecture interoperable with leading mission systems
- Communication resilience against detection, jamming, and geo-location
Yes. Commcrete systems are operationally deployed and battle-proven, used by defense, government, and public safety organizations in real-world missions, including Search and Rescue and disaster response.
