SBOLC WIN-T
1. WIN-T Warfighter Information Network-Tactical
-The Army's fully-mobile, tactical network portion of the
DOD Information Network-Army (DODIN-A)
2. INC 1 Networking at the halt
3. INC 2 Networking on the move
4. What are some -SATCOM allows for service over the Polar Regions, the
benefits of SAT- oceans, and the remote areas of the world.
COM?
-SATCOM provides global connectivity to widely dis-
persed small and mobile forces.
-SATCOM acts as a network extension and provides
long-haul communications to areas where terrestrial ar-
chitecture may be insufficient or where line of sight equip-
ment is inadequate.
5. True or False: FALSE: Signal latency is a MAJOR concern in satellite
Signal latency is communications, so geographic and meteorological fac-
a minor con- tors play an important role in choosing teleports.

graphic and me-
teorological fac-
tors play an im-

ports.
6. Benefits of WIN-T -On-demand, pre-positioned links to DISN services.
-Automatic routing and information transfer over the most
effective SATCOM network.
-The Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) allows for
, SBOLC WIN-T
cross-banding for communications between dissimilar
SATCOM systems and frequency bands(C band, X band,
Ku band, and Ka band).
7. DOD Gateways -Gateways give tactical terminals access to DISN ser-
vices regardless of their deployment location.
-DOD gateways are located across the globe to offer
gateway entry points close to warfighters in all theaters.
-DOD gateways provide long-haul network transport and
connections from the deployed tactical network to the
strategic infrastructure.
8. Satellite Foot- -The area of the earth's surface covered by the satellite
print antenna's beam pattern within the field of view of the
satellite's transmitters or sensors.
-Satellite transmissions can cover 1/3 of the earth's sur-
face
9. What are the -Earth Coverage
three types of
coverages? -Area Coverage
-Narrow Coverage
10. Earth Coverage Uses an EC horn antenna to cover most of the earth's
(EC) surface visible from the satellite, normally equal to the
footprint.
11. Area Coverage Uses a steerable dish or multi-beam antenna to cover ar-
(AC) eas of concentrated users that often deploy small, mobile
or transportable earth terminals (I.e. ships, aircraft, and
ground tactical terminals).
12. Narrow Cover- Uses spot beam antenna to cover a confined coverage
age (NC) area containing small earth terminals or small areas gen-
erating large volumes of military communications traffic.

13. Satellite Commu- -Satellite transmissions can cover 1/3 of the earth's sur-
nications face
-Each satellite is equipped with various "transponders"
consisting of a transceiver and an antenna tuned to a
certain part of the allocated spectrum
-The incoming signal is amplified and then rebroadcast
on a different frequency
-One channel dedicated to transmitting and one channel
for receiving
14. Different Types -Communications Satellite
of Satellites
-Satellite TV
-Astronomic Satellites or Space observatories
-Remote Sensing Satellite
-GPS
-Reconnaissance Satellite
15. Satellite Orbits -LEO: Low Earth Orbit (100 - 1500KM)
-MEO: Medium Earth Orbit (5000 - 10000KM)
-GEO: Geostationary Earth Orbit (36000)
-HEO: Highly Elliptical Orbit
16. Geostationary -Synchronized with an area of earth below it
-Centered on the equator
-Approximately 35,786 km above the earth's surface
