Keeping the Armed Forces Connected no matter the environment
The Challenge
Many of Landmarc‘s training locations are situated in remote environments where traditional connectivity infrastructure is limited, unavailable or unreliable. This creates significant challenges for personnel who rely on secure, high-performance internet to deliver training programmes, communicate effectively and maintain operational readiness.
Landmarc required a connectivity solution that could:
- Deliver reliable internet access in remote and hard-to-reach locations
- Support mission-critical communications
- Maintain service in challenging weather and environmental conditions
- Be deployed rapidly with minimal technical intervention
- Provide secure connectivity suitable for Defence operations
The Solution
To ensure Armed Forces personnel could stay connected wherever training takes place, UK Connect Defence deployed its Rapid Broadband Kit (RBK) solution.
Designed specifically for rapid connectivity in demanding environments, the RBK provides instant broadband where fixed infrastructure is unavailable, delayed or unreliable. Combining 5G, LEO satellite and Ethernet connectivity within a single ruggedised platform, the solution enables users to get online within minutes and maintain connectivity as site conditions change.
Key features include:
- Multi-WAN connectivity with 5G and LEO satellite capabilities
- Support for 100+ concurrent users via Wi-Fi and Ethernet
- Rugged IP-rated enclosure designed for harsh operating environments
- Battery-powered operation with up to 45 hours’ runtime on 5G connectivity
- Secure private cellular networking options
- Simple, rapid deployment with minimal setup requirements
The compact, robust design enables Landmarc teams to deploy connectivity wherever it’s needed, ensuring personnel remain connected and productive throughout training operations.
