Abstract

A communication systems providing a fault-tolerant communications path for narrow and broad band communication comprising one or more self-powered satellite units each providing signal information to at least one command console through a segmented cable assembly system in operable communication with a central station that receives signal information from the at least one command console and relays signal information back to the command console wirelessly and via the segmented cable assembly system.

Claims

5. A cable assembly comprising

one or more fixed length cable segments, each segment linked to a junction box having a repeater system to extend a signal communications range significantly further than 3000 feet.

1. A communication systems providing a fault-tolerant communications path for narrow and broad band communication comprising:

one or more self-powered satellite units each providing signal information to at least one command console through a segmented cable assembly system;

a central station that receives signal information from the at least one command console and relays signal information back to the command console wirelessly and via the segmented cable assembly system.

2. The communication system of claim 1, wherein the segmented cable assembly system is powered by a controller outfitted with a transceiver and an external high gain antenna.

3. The communication system of claim 1, wherein the segmented cable assembly system includes a repeater.

4. The communications system of claim 1, wherein the cable assembly includes a UWB radio and antenna.

6. The cable assembly of claim 5, wherein the each segment includes a metal casing and core bundle wrapped with an aerogel material.

7. The cable assembly of claim 5, wherein each segment includes a stress release system, each segment configured for 2600 pounds of longitudinal force.
