PacStar Tactical Communications – Small Form Factor Networking for Mission-Critical Environments

PacStar’s small form factor communications modules provide advanced, military-grade networking systems designed to meet the operational demands of tactical and expeditionary environments.

PacStar systems are fielded within major UK defence programmes, enabling secure, agile, and scalable communications infrastructure across a wide range of missions and operational contexts.

With a focus on low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP), PacStar technology also delivers ultra-low power consumption, enabling extended mission duration, reduced energy burden, and better integration with limited or renewable energy sources—such as solar and battery systems.

PacStar 400-Series: Modular, Rugged, and Power-Efficient

The PacStar 400-Series is a family of rugged, modular communications solutions that includes:

• High-assurance routing and switching

• Advanced network services

• Application hosting and secure storage

• Edge compute capabilities in compact, deployable formats

Built in collaboration with trusted technology partners—including Cisco-based networking modules—PacStar 400 systems ensure high-performance interoperability while consuming significantly less energy than traditional deployable systems. This makes them ideal for use in battery-supported or energy-constrained environments, such as tactical vehicles, forward operating bases, and dismounted operations.

Each unit is engineered for maximum efficiency, supporting multiple power options and offering dependable operation in harsh environments—all while conserving valuable power resources.

PacStar tactical communications technology provides a low-power, high-capability communications backbone for today’s complex and data-driven missions—empowering modern forces with resilient, low-SWaP connectivity in even the most demanding environments.
