Glowlink Supports Evaluation of Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) Satellite Payload
March 12, 2008, Los Altos, California - Glowlink today announced the successful completion of the first phase of system deployment and support for DoD in preparation for activating live traffic on the first Wideband Global SATCOM satellite (WGS-1). The WGS-1 satellite has been undergoing intense communications payload testing and evaluation by the WGS operational community since shortly after Boeing turned it over to the Air Force in January 2008. Glowlink provided all aspects of engineering, installation, training, and logistical support for a key ground-based system used during the payload evaluation. The system—reinforced with robust, all-digital spectrum monitoring technology—consists of a global network of next-generation monitoring and interference detection nodes, created by Glowlink specifically for monitoring the WGS fleet of satellites.
The WGS-1 satellite, launched on 10 October, 2007 is the first in a fleet of new generation of DoD wideband communications satellites to be placed in orbits between 2007 and 2013, bringing dramatically increased bandwidth to the military SATCOM user community.
