Tactical Mobile Thuraya Monitoring System

Product number: PKI 1815

The system can monitor the following Thuraya services:

  • Voice, SMS, fax and data
  • Interception of up to 4 spot-beams simultane ously monitored
  • Interception of up to 16 duplex calls simultane ously
  • Decryption unit built in

PKI 1815 is designed to be easily transported to the places of operations. Quickly deployable and operational in a couple of minutes. The system is suitable for use in land, sea and air applications. PKI 1815 is a rapidly deployable system for monitoring communications on the Thuraya satellite mobile communications systems. Call interception is passive, and thus not detectable by either the mobile user or the satellite network.

Control of the system is via an intuitive windows-based GUI. Incoming calls are displayed in real-time, and voice is played via laptop unit. Software to decode and display a number of fax and data protocols is included. Information relating to the identification of called and calling parties is recorder.

The system consists of the receiver, the control unit (laptop) and an antenna set.

Key features:

  • Mobile satellite monitoring in radio line of sight
  • Map functionality (own position, target position and beam position)
  • Small, portable form factor
  • Light weight
  • L-band „target“ and „satellite“ inputs
  • DC powered via AC adapter or vehicle adapter

Antennas:

PKI 1815 is supplied with antennas and cables for quick and easy deployment. One antenna is required to capture the satellite downlin, while the second (target) antenna captures the signal by the mobile terminal. Optional a range of antennas for a variety of deployment scenarios can be supplied by our company, including vehicle mounted and omni-directional antennas. The system also features variable attenuation to allow effective operation under a wide range of signal conditions typically experienced in the tactical environment.
