MESH NETWORK

SWIFT®-LINQ & SLMR

Introducing the first small satellite mesh crosslink networking system in the universe, SWIFT®-LINQ – now available with the SWIFT-SLX Software Defined Radios. SWIFT-LINQ is a crosslink mesh network built on an IP backbone using TDMA architecture and designed for small satellites. 

Integrate a SWIFT-SLX with SWIFT-LINQ into your bus to unite satellites on a single network. Each SWIFT-LINQ equipped satellite extends to LINQ, allowing your users to access services – such as TT&C, payload data, or sensor data – on any node from anywhere.

In addition, satellites from multiple manufacturers can now communicate on a common network, giving your product more opportunities to perform. By establishing a network of satellites, swarming, autonomy, and collaborative behaviors are now possible.
