MONTREAL — Marconi Technologies announced that it has completed a multi-day troposcatter communications evaluation with Försvarets Materielverk (FMV), the Swedish Armed Forces’ defence materiel authority, reportedly demonstrating sustained, high-throughput connectivity with its Archer troposcatter solution across a 75-kilometre link.
According to a press release from the company, the evaluation ran June 1–5, between Enköping and Arboga, Sweden, where Archer maintained a stable, frequency-diverse link. During the evaluation, Marconi reportedly demonstrated capabilities central to the Swedish Armed Forces’ requirement for a tactical troposcatter system that is both operationally capable and easy to deploy. FMV also validated Archer’s ability to integrate directly with the Swedish Armed Forces’ mobile network node (MKN), enabling operators to connect their own networking equipment and pass traffic over the link.
“The results in Sweden reflect what our team has been focused on from the start: building a system that leads in capability without demanding expertise to operate,” said Alain Cohen, CEO of Marconi Technologies. “When a two-person crew can establish a beyond-line-of-sight link in under 20 minutes, in demanding terrain, with automatic alignment and near-zero downtime, that changes what’s operationally possible in satellite-denied or degraded environments.”
Archer is Marconi’s tactical troposcatter terminal, built to try and deliver low-latency links over 200+ km without relying on satellites or fixed network infrastructure. In a press release, Marconi Technologies stated that Archer was also recently selected by the U.S. Army for beyond-line-of-sight communications.
