µSHADE

µSHADE (MicroSHADE) has been designed to provide voice and data services for small teams operating in remote, hostile or away from their home base and wish to automatically create a secure tunnel for their communications to transit.

µSHADE can make use of any available communications bearer but is predominately designed to utilise BGAN, Wi-Fi or 3G. It can be deployed globally at short notice by small teams or a single user.

µSHADE is flexible in that it can be configured to utilise Spectra’ core infrastructure or it can be configured to utilise any communications network to any required end point.

µSHADE is very small form factor but still benefits from all the security, resilience and technical support offered by the SHADE services. The NOC staff are able to provide technical support and configuration to the deployed equipment.

TRAINING & OPERATION

µSHADE can be installed by a single user with minimal training. It is plug and play operation that can be set up in 2 -3 minutes by an unskilled user. When a communication bearer is activated a secure tunnel is automatically created to the configured end point.

The equipment is capable of being powered by 12V DC (vehicle or solar panel), 110V AC or 240V AC to allow maximum deployment flexibility. It also has an internal battery that will provide power for approximately 2 hours of operation.
