Glowlink Achieves Historical Milestone and Ushers in A New Era of Wideband Satellite Communications Monitoring and Control

April 28, 2008, Los Altos, California - Glowlink today announces that the Wideband Global Spectrum Monitoring System (WGSMS) it designed has begun to actively monitor traffic carried on the first US DoD Wideband Global SATCOM satellite (WGS-1), ushering in a new era of wideband satellite communications monitoring and control.

WGS-1, which went operational on April 15, 2008, is the first in a new generation of wide bandwidth DoD communications satellites and is the most powerful in its inventory for long-haul communications.

"WGSMS is the first system that is capable of monitoring the new WGS satellites. The system is used to routinely measure the spectral signature of more than 4.5 GHz of WGS bandwidth in just a few minutes," says Daniel Hannan, Chief of Wideband SATCOM Operations Support, US Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command. "WGSMS enables Wideband Transmissions Controllers to "see" spectrum that is actually transiting all WGS beams, regardless of band, with a single monitoring system."

"The WGSMS is a sophisticated, globally deployed monitoring system designed and developed by Glowlink for the WGS constellation," says Michael Downey, Glowlink CTO. "It requires an impressive array of the latest advances in spectrum monitoring, interference detection, and signal characterization technologies, along with an overlay of wide-area networking, database, information display and information assurance infrastructure. Glowlink is gratified that it is able to pull all these off.”

Glowlink is under contract to continue product enhancement and technical support for the WGSMS as the WGS network evolves and expands to meet the crucial tactical, strategic, and operational needs of the US and its allies.
