Comtech Maritime Communications Roaming Oceanic Satellite Server (ROSS) System
Delivers seamless satellite switching for roaming marine vessels
Satellite Roaming Oceanic Server System
Comtech ROSS provides remote satellite modems with the ability to interface with 3-axis stabilized auto-tracking antenna systems and supports complete maintaining of connectivity as vessels move from one satellite beam to another. The ROSS system ensures that vessel GPS position information, RF Satellite signals and system management status are constantly updated and monitored in order to ascertain whether or not beam or satellite handoff are necessary.
The ROSS server features a complete system event log that's capable of storing 475+ events. Utilizing a circular file format, the events will wrap when the buffer
is filled. Each event is identified with an event type/category and a time stamp. The events can be retrieved and viewed locally or over the air at specified intervals via the ROSS client or the Configuration Editor application.
