A live demonstration was conducted before members of NATO’s BLOS Comms Capabilities Team, with representatives from multiple allied nations in attendance.

San Diego, CA, March 24, 2026 – TrellisWare Technologies, Inc., the global leader in resilient waveforms and interoperable tactical radios, today announced that the company, through its partnership with TSC, a high-technology company providing its customers with sensors, effectors, and solutions for communication, precision engagement, surveillance, and intelligence missions, has successfully demonstrated mobile, terrestrial troposcatter communications at an industry-best link distance exceeding 80 miles, transmitting real-time voice, Position Location Information (PLI) and video across mountainous terrain in San Diego, California.

“The success we demonstrated, definitively proves that mobile troposcatter can provide reliable, high-capacity communications across significant terrain obstacles if you’re working with the right provider,” said Marcus Tooker, Director of Commercial Products for TSC. “Our ability to sustain voice, video, and PLI connectivity over an 83-mile link, while in motion, underscores the operational flexibility, resilience, and the now proven nature of the joint capabilities between TrellisWare and TSC.  And this can be done anywhere in the world.”

The demonstration, which utilized the TSC Mobile Tracking System 3.0 (MTS3.0), originated from TrellisWare’s headquarters in San Diego, California, and established a beyond-line-of-sight connection to a mobile vehicle 83 miles away in Westmorland, CA, over the broad Laguna Mountain range (altitude exceeding 5,200 feet); proving the value of TrellisWare’s advanced signal processing for troposcatter communications.  Assuming the same transmit power and antenna gain, TrellisWare’s Advanced Constant Envelope-Troposcatter (ACE-T) waveform has a more than 1.5x link-distance advantage over other troposcatter waveforms.

The troposcatter link was also used to connect TrellisWare’s industry-best TSM™ MANET (Mobile Ad-hoc Network) on either side via a Multi-Network Bridge (MNB).  This sets a record for an on-the-move troposcatter link in a terrestrial environment, which has substantially more challenging troposcatter propagation conditions than a maritime or littoral environment.

“Unlike traditional, fixed-site troposcatter systems, the solution we demonstrated with TSC was able to maintain connectivity even while the mobile unit traveled at speeds up to 30 miles per hour, despite the very narrow beamwidths of the high-gain antennas required to combat the large losses of a troposcatter link,” said Scott Enserink, Lead Engineer for Troposcatter Communications at TrellisWare.

Key Demonstration Highlights Include:

• On-the-move operation at speeds up to 30 mph.
• Live voice and video transmission.
• Bridging of two remote TSM MANET networks.
• Mountainous terrain obstruction.
• Real-time mapping and PLI updates on ATAK tablet.
• International defense and industry audience for portions of the testing.

“The fact that the system successfully delivered voice and video traffic and bridged two MANETs across the 83-mile path clearly demonstrates the operational viability of troposcatter for BLOS communications for expeditionary and maneuvering forces,” added COL (Ret.) Garth Winterle, the former US Army Project Manager for the Integrated Tactical Network and current Director of European Business Development for TrellisWare.

The event confirms that there is now a functional and proven solution for the increasing demand for resilient, beyond-line-of-sight communications capable of operating in contested, congested, satcom-denied, and infrastructure-limited environments.
