Cobham Satcom EXPLORER terminals provide mission-critical communications to Land Rover KaZa Tour participants
Cobham SATCOM announced that it's EXPLORER terminals will be put to the test across some of the most challenging and remote terrains in Africa during this year's Land Rover Experience KaZa tour. Cobham's reliable and high-tech equipment will keep participants connected during the gruelling expedition, which stretches across Namibia, Botswana, Angola, Zambia and Zimbabwe from 31 October to 13 November. Running since 2000, the Land Rover Experience Tour was established to demonstrate the extreme durability of Land Rovers in the most inhospitable environments on the planet. This year's route stretches from the Experience Center in Namibia to Kavango Zambezi National Park, which is the second largest nature reserve in the world. The route passes breathtaking wildlife and traverses challenging terrain that aims to test the cutting-edge design and engineering which makes Land Rover vehicles famous for their all-terrain capabilities - alongside the equipment and products of similarly capable sponsors.
The fleet has been equipped with a diverse communications suite, including the PRISM PTT+ solution, which will deliver uninterrupted beyond line-of-sight push-to-talk voice and data communication by seamlessly switching between satellite, 3G, LTE and Land Mobile Radio (LMR). Cobham's EXPLORER 8100GX Drive-Away VSAT, featuring unique dynamic pointing correction technology that supports continuous connectivity in extreme weather conditions, will deliver high-speed broadband for journalists and the team during the tour.
