FOR QUICK DEPLOYMENT KU BAND A BETTER CHOICE SMALLER SIZE BIGGER BANDWIDTH FOR CONTINUOS UNINTERUPTIBLE COMMS C BAND PREFERABLE NOT AFFECTED BY WEATHER BUT REQUIRE BIGGER ANTENNA DEFENCE OPERATIONS USING SATELLITE COMMUNICATION
Effective Defence Operations Using Satellite Comms Using Both Band Ku Band as Primary Bigger Bandwidth Capable for multimedia transmission Smaller size C Band Antenna Backup to Ku Band on adverse weather Step-up with Ku Band moving ahead C Band remain with transmission limited to voice & data Networked C Band & Ku Band can meet the bandwidth demand of a deployed HQ CONCLUSION
