Commercial satellite communications will also continue to play an important role in now and in the future. There will always be an insatiable demand for bandwidth from the user because of continuing innovation in the way bandwidth issued. TMOS Is The Cornerstone of Integrated TCA Capability Page 13. TSAT: An Architecture of Internet-like Comm Pipes Between Space, Air, and Ground Nodes The Vision Forward Extension of the GIG. Greatly Improved Comm-on-the-Move .. Worldwide Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation Network Policy-Driven Architecture Efficient bandwidth allocation via operations management consolidation Bandwidth via laser comm Interoperability and situational awareness among networks Scalable, evolvable via leveraging commercial best practices Users: DoD, IC, and Agencies TSAT Improves Interoperability and Enables Bandwidth, Removing Comm As a Constraint to the Warfighter.
