SWE-DISH® CCT Transceiver
X-band 60W
Ku-band 50W
Less than three minutes to band
frequency change. No tools.
No alignment issues.
Quick. Adaptable. Reliable. Rugged.
They’re qualities you demand of
the people you send into the field –
whether soldiers, first-responders or
broadcast correspondents. You should
expect nothing less from the satellite
communications system they’ll use.
Rockwell Collins’ SWE-DISH® satellite
communications system with
CommuniCase® Technology (CCT) is the
next generation of the world’s quickestto-air satellite terminals. The system’s
unique design lets the user easily switch
out a variety of reliable, ruggedized
components to customize SATCOM for
changing missions and future needs. It’s
a level of adaptability that will maximize
your investment.
CCT transceivers give you ultimate
adaptability in any environment.
Each CCT transceiver module converts
transmit-and-receive band frequencies
into satellite microwave signals,
amplifying their levels. Changing
frequencies is as simple as swapping
one compact, self-contained transceiver
module for another. Our proprietary
reference system ensures you’ll get
perfect alignment every time. Whenever
you change a module, the system’s
Smart Distributed System technology
automatically updates the terminal and
graphical user interface.
Ka-band 35W
Key BENEFITS
>> Future proof – Interchangeable
modules let you easily and quickly
customize the system to your mission,
portability needs, speed and budget
>> Self-adapting – Change transceiver
modules and the unique CCT Smart
Distributed System detects the
reconfiguration and automatically
updates the terminal and Graphical
User Interface
>> Rugged – The transceiver unit is
designed to operate in the toughest
environments, with a tightly sealed
housing that stands up to sand, dust
and water
>> Powerful – Feed-arm mounting
increases SSPA and EIRP power by
reducing feed loss
>> Performance – A broadband PLL LNB
that covers the complete Ku-band
frequency from 10.7 through 12.75
GHz with improved frequency stability
