(55 x 186 x 5 mm) without cable- Weight 5: oz- GIG & Internet Connectivity to the Last Tactical Mile-Run net-centric web applications over your existing combat net radio with the ViaSat VDC-600 Data Controller. Featuring a credit card-sized PCMCIA form factor, the VDC-600 works with any tactical radio to deliver the Common Operating Picture - even over severely degraded radio channels. Take this highly portable ViaSat Data Controller (VDC) anywhere to send error-free data and employ TCP/IP services over existing radios, creating-network-centric connections that link warfighters on the-tactical edge to the Global Information Grid (GIG).-Using a combat net radio, computer, and Data Controller,-you can run IP-based critical combat communications-applications such as Cursor-on-Target, Situational Awareness,-Blue Force Tracking, whiteboard collaboration, chat,-messaging, and email.- Single, TYPE II PCMCIA Card (3.3V OR 5V) --No external power supply needed-The VDC-600 is a type II card that complies with PC Card-Standard Release 8 for compatibility with the latest mobile PCs.-The advanced design of this PCMCIA card draws less than 750mW of power from the PC, requiring no external power supply-or additional batteries. The VDC-600 is field-proven to operate over a variety of noisy radio channels, including UHF SatCom,-UHF line-of-sight, VHF, HF, Inmarsat, and wireline channels.-The Data Controller supports networks of up to 64 users per channel with point-to-point, multicast, and broadcast messages.-This PC card is fully compliant with MIL-STD-188- 184, meets NDI and COTS requirements, and is backwards compatible with all ViaSat Data Controllers and Data Terminal Software. The VDC-600 also works with MIL-STD-188-220 software.-In a PC card form factor, the VDC-600 delivers the Common Operating Picture and IP connectivity over your existing combat net radio.- OVER COMBAT Real-time Data Compression - Reduces message size by 50%-The VDC-600 uses data compression to reduce the size of user-messages and shorten transmission times. Data from the user-is automatically compressed before transmission and restored-at the receiving end. The data compression algorithm typically-shrinks text files to less than 50% of their original size. It even-detects "incompressible" user data and sends it unaltered. Enhanced Error Correction - Quick transfer, even-with poor channel-A combination of Forward Error Correction (FEC) and-Automatic Request for retransmission (ARQ) with a unique application-of diversity combining, transfers user data as quickly-as possible. These powerful error correction techniques send-data over poor quality channels with bit error rates in excess of-15%, as long as the radios are able to perform. The VDC-600-adapts the amount of FEC overhead to optimize throughput-and reduce airtime, and minimizing channel loading. Built-in Networking with Multicast addressing-Messages can be addressed to a single destination or multicast,-with acknowledgements automatically collected and displayed-by the originating terminal.- The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-42 effective 16 June 2010, DFAR DCN 20100621, and AFFAR AFAC 2010-0402.
