DND has a requirement for a tactical, stand-alone, small form factor, ready portable and remotely deployable, independently powered, high-speed private LTE voice and data solution, which is fully integrated and compatible with existing TELESAT architecture. The solution must allow for the provisioning and management of the subscriber base & SIM card configuration by the end user and be capable of operating on any of the LTE bands via swapping of radio modules.   From a security standpoint, the mobile network vendor must offer commercially encrypted, fully portable private LTE solutions without the requirement to connect to a public domain or infrastructure of any kind. In addition, the equipment must directly interface with existing SATCOM architecture facilitating integration and alleviating re-engineering of a specific solution requiring additional resources and costs.  The equipment must be trailer mounted, possess an antenna mast and include a diesel generator capable of powering the system for a minimum of 72 hours.
