According to a company spokesperson, StarBridge “represents a significant leap forward in communication technology, particularly for TETRA networks operating in trunked mode [TMO].” It is designed, continued the spokesperson, to “seamlessly connect TMO networks with direct mode operation [DMO] groups that are beyond the reach of the main network infrastructure, such as those used in maritime operations.”
StarBridge operates through leveraging the StarLink satellite system, thereby enabling “robust and reliable communication links between isolated DMO groups and the central TETRA network.
“This capability is crucial for ensuring uninterrupted communication in critical situations. Especially in remote or off-shore environments where the TMO network coverage is insufficient or non-existent.”
The spokesperson continued: “For those involved in critical communications, whether in public safety, transportation, or maritime sectors, the unveiling of the StarBridge is an event not to be missed. The CCW 2025 promises to be an exciting platform for the exchange of ideas and the latest technological advancements.”
Critical Communications World 2025 is taking place all this week in Brussels.
