Chemring Technology Solutions today launches SmartLink™ into the Asia Pacific market, a portable private cellular network that can be set up within minutes, has a 5km range and can operate in the harshest of environmental conditions.

SmartLink™ is a secure cellular network-in-a-box that can be deployed in less than 90 seconds. Designed specifically for use by military, security, and public safety personnel, SmartLink™ is highly versatile, and offers enhanced voice and data services to all end users. Its small form factor, long range and low power consumption is unrivalled in the market, and it has been successfully trialled by organisations in the UK and other regions across the globe.

When the local mobile infrastructure fails, SmartLink™ delivers a self-contained communications network to share voice, data and video information between teams on the ground and command centres. This improves team collaboration and situational awareness resulting in greater mission effectiveness. Furthermore, it can be used to support national border security, humanitarian aid and public safety operations where the existing commercial mobile network coverage may be unreliable or non-existent.

Will Tucker, Product Leader at Chemring Technology Solutions, said: "Unlike other solutions, SmartLink™ provides all the benefits of a wide-area cellular network in the smallest, most lightweight and low power form factor available today. Being rapidly deployable and scalable, it provides secure communications even in challenging scenarios. As a result, SmartLink™ offers a step-change in capability for security forces in a range of situations such as environmental disasters, terrorism and domestic unrest."
