CodeMettle, an innovative developer of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) network operations (NetOps) software, was recently awarded a contract from Comtech to integrate critical software supporting U.S. Army EDIM Satellite Modems.
EDIM is an excellent example of how the SATCOM industry is moving towards Digital Intermediate Frequency Interoperability (DIFI). The DIFI Consortium aims to digitally transform space, satellite, and related industries by creating an open, interoperable Digital IF/radio frequency (RF) standard to replace analog IF signals, fostering interoperability, reducing vendor lock-in, and enabling a cost-effective and agile virtualized ground segment. CodeMettle software enables DIFI transformation and realization.
Comtech's EDIM modems are designed to support multiple satellite providers and will become one of the primary modems used for U.S. military SATCOM. Built on open architecture standards, Comtech's EDIM solutions are designed to be easily integrated with other terrestrial and non-terrestrial communications systems to enabled unified hybrid network infrastructures that can deliver blended, smart-enabled connectivity services.
Under the contract, Code Mettle's NetOps software will support Comtech's design, development, test and delivery of EDIM units to the U.S. Army. The EDIM modems will be used across the U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force. Code Mettle's Terminus software will be used for the Element Management Solution of Comtech's EDIM Modem design, and it will be installed with the new modems to help enable seamless connectivity to multiple critical and secure DoD networks.
Code Mettle's Terminus software was selected by Comtech because of its operator-friendly, reliable, secure, adaptable, and scalable characteristics. As the EDIM Modem allows the government to increase capacity and links, Terminus provides scalable automation to simplify the increasing complexity of the operator's user experience.
"CodeMettle is excited to be helping Comtech deliver a new DoD SATCOM modem capability expected to replace legacy modems and provide a better, modernized SATCOM user experience," said Mike Mostow, CodeMettle COO. "Our proven software solution can also be leveraged to support the DoD's larger gradual migration of its SATCOM terminals and baseband equipment to a digital Intermediate Frequency (IF) architecture."
