Extending communications beyond the horizon

Our STANAG 4691/MARLIN-compliant SNC-2051 platform is able to form tactical IP networks dynamically, while also self-configuring as needed in response to changing topologies. The SNC-2051 supports the use of standard TCP/UDP-IP traffic, allowing a seamless integration of tactical to strategic or commercial networks.

By enabling wireless HF/VHF/UHF users to adaptively form ad hoc networks, where and when they are critical for mission success, the Collins Aerospace SNC-2051 SubNet-Relay Node Controller has the flexibility you’re looking for.

TCP throughput

The SNC-2051 contains our IP Traffic Manager (IPTM), which is a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP), that dramatically improves TCP throughput in a high-latency, high-error wireless environment. Our embedded IPTM keeps traffic from timing out and dropping connections across wireless media.

Ease of integration

What’s more, the SNC-2051 can be integrated with RF bearers from HF and WBHF through to UHF, offering complete flexibility in system design. Featuring common industry standard hardware interfaces, SNC-2051 is an easy replacement for the SNC-2050 in your current architecture. Let us help you choose the right software option for compatibility with the SNC-2050 software which is operationally fielded across allied nations.

When mobile networking is critical, you can rely on the Collins SNC-2051 for flexible, secure and reliable connections when it matters the most.
