LLC-4000 is a cutting-edge 4K low-latency video encoder/decoder purpose-built for tactical operations, reconnaissance, and situational awareness in demanding environments. It delivers reliable real-time video transmission over narrow-bandwidth satellite links and tactical radio systems, enabling uninterrupted communication during critical missions. Engineered with a compact form factor and advanced compression technology, the LLC-4000 is well-suited for remote and mobile deployments where bandwidth is limited. Proven in operational use, the system has been successfully deployed by units of the Japan Ground Self-Defence Force, including amphibious rapid deployment and communications brigades, supporting a wide range of military field operations.

The UHF-band TRX module features transmit diversity, allowing selection between two transmit ports and providing an output power of at least 1 W. It includes a gain control function for transmission and an internal local oscillator for IF-to-UHF upconversion. Transmit functions also include ALC (Automatic Level Control) and over-temperature protection. On the receive side, the module selects one of two input channels and performs downconversion. It supports AGC (Automatic Gain Control) with a response time of 80 µs, enabling real-time gain adjustment based on input signal level. The dynamic range of the receive input spans from -100 dBm to -20 dBm, and the noise figure is 5.0 dB or less. Both transmit and receive paths include built-in path self-test functions.

Rolatube IAM (Integrated Antenna Mast) is a lightweight, man-portable communications mast that integrates a high-efficiency dipole antenna directly into its structure—redefining rapid tactical deployment. Built from Rolatube’s proprietary bistable composite, the IAM unrolls to full height without tools, enabling users to connect and transmit in seconds. Available in 3.5 m and 7 m models, the mast weighs just 1.9 kg and packs down to a 150 mm roll, offering unmatched portability for dismounted operations. Designed for reliable RF performance, the IAM ensures no signal loss when in contact with grounded surfaces. Its embedded omni-directional dipole antenna delivers superior range and VOR communication performance compared to traditional systems. The 3.5 m IAM comes in VHF (30–300 MHz) and UHF (136–470 MHz) variants, each available in four colours, with a top-cap socket for L-Band antenna integration, extending the system’s use to applications such as telemetry, GPS, and aircraft surveillance. The mast can be handheld, guyed, or elevated via an integrated rigging point, and is engineered to meet MIL-STD-810G, fully maintenance-free, and resistant to water, dust, and UV. With a wind rating of 100 km/h (62 mph) when guyed, the IAM stands up to demanding field environments while delivering high-performance, elevated communications infrastructure at the tactical edge.
