September 03, 2010 - French Ministry of Defense notifies acceptance of Comsis MIMO equipment

Earlier this year, the French Ministry of Defense was delivered with a wireless datacom equipment jointly developed by Comsis and Télécom Bretagne. This radio system had been specified by the armed forces to enable high-speed, high-reliability wireless communications on the digital battlefield. The Microwave Department of Télécom Bretagne was in charge of the radio subsystem, while Comsis have adapted their MIMO space-time coding on a modified version of their MimoKit hardware platform. The outcome was an high-performance piece of equipment capable of simultaneous data transfer, video and voice streaming under harsh channel conditions.

After several months of characterization and qualification on the field, the French Ministry of Defense have notified the final acceptance of the equipment.
