CommuniCase Technology is based on a common modular architecture, enabling users to easily switch out and plug in standard modems, amplifiers and other transmission and auxiliary components to create more than 450 different configurations. This interchangeability provides users with a cost-effective and very high degree of operational flexibility. The innovative CCT architecture relies on a uniquely packaged transceiver that carries CPI's solid-state microwave power amplifier. This high-power amplifier incorporates several novel design features that allow it to meet the exacting and high performance requirements of CommuniCase Technology within a highly customized envelope.
The IPT Suitcase is the smallest broadband satellite terminal in the world and is used for the transmission of video, data and voice content via satellite from remote or temporary sites anywhere in the world.
Work on the contract will be completed at CPI's Communications & Medical Products Division in Georgetown, Ontario.
