STINN LTEmp: Small Tactical IP Networking Node LTE Manpack

The Cornet Technology STINN LTEmp is a lightweight man packable LTE eNodeB that leverages proven technologies and complies with 3GPP Release 16 commercial industry standards. The manpack can easily scale to support small dispersed dismounted teams, to larger formations and mobile platforms in support of military, law enforcement and disaster response operations. The unit can easily be installed, operated, maintained in less than 4-minutes and can be quickly reconfigured through a ruggedized tablet. The embedded server class Xeon quad-core processor provides the user ability to host all the IP services and smartphone applications at the point of operations without dependency for network reachback for enterprise services.

For RF supportability in congested and contested RF environments, the replaceable quad RF module with four LTE bands allows the operator to quickly change the LTE band without impacting operations. The STINN LTEmp also supports tactical roaming when traversing through overlapping MTE bubbles without disruptions of service or user intervention required on their smartphone. When connected via a LAN/WAN network, geographically dispersed manpack’s function as a single integrated LTE network.

Description
