TacMax can support high data transfer rate of up to 45 Mbps per sector, delivering high quality broadband video, data and voice services on-the-move. The end units are designed for military standards, capable of integration in tactical, armored vehicles.
Rafael is designing the system to be rapidly deployable, supporting division and brigade level communications with broadband data networking, as well as providing broadband connectivity for coastal and border security networks. The system can also be used to enhance current mobile subscriber requiring ultra-high data rates.
