Innovations

As the world’s leading provider of Swift64 aeronautical solutions, Stratos continues to grow and innovate our solutions:

  • Stratos ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) – connect your aircraft to the ground network to seamlessly provide network-centric warfare capabilities even in the air.  Stratos has been part of successful ISR and remote surveillance teams on rotary, fixed and UAV platforms
  • Swift64 Closed Network – leased line services for high volume customers, including the world’s militaries and governments
  • Remote Command and Control Solutions – Stratos is currently developing remote command and control solutions using 4-channel Swift64 airborne for video surveillance connected via the Stratos network, to a ground control operating either 4-channel GAN or BGAN—which will provide a whole new level of flexibility and service.

If you require a higher bandwidth option up to 432 kbps, consider SwiftBroadband from Stratos.
