As geopolitical tensions rise and the need for real-time situational awareness grows, Evenlode Lite offers a cost-effective solution for defence, security, border control, and search and rescue teams.

Evenlode Lite is an introductory version of the Evenlode system, operationally proven across the UK, Europe and the Middle East. Comprising an air data terminal and ground data terminal, it provides reliable, secure, real-time transmission of up to 4K video, audio, GPS and telemetry data from airborne platforms to static or mobile ground teams.

The system is tailored for integrators and end users in regions across Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa and the Middle East, offering a low barrier to entry for organisations seeking to improve ISR capabilities without the complexity and cost typically associated with such systems.

Key features:

  • Complete end-to-end solution that seamlessly integrates with existing video systems to deliver live intelligence directly to ground teams.
  • Cost-effective: By dramatically reducing entry-level costs, Evenlode Lite makes airborne data transmission more accessible to a broader range of users.
  • International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) exempt: Fully exportable to most regions worldwide, Evenlode Lite can be deployed quickly with minimal regulatory constraints or complexity.
  • Fully secure: Equipped with AES256 or substitution Cipher encryption, the system protects sensitive data during transmission, making it ideal for domestic security and search and rescue operations.
  • Scalable and upgradeable: As concept of operations (CONOPS) requirements evolve, Evenlode Lite can be enhanced with additional features, including dual video channels, onward IP video streaming and range extensions.

"Many defence and security teams lack the real-time intelligence to respond swiftly to incidents or mitigate risk. Evenlode Lite addresses this gap by offering an affordable and scalable solution that delivers critical intelligence, enabling faster, more informed decisions,” said Jackson White, Business Development Director of Tactical Data Links at SPX Communication Technologies. "The system lowers the overall cost of ownership, making it an attractive option for regions with limited budgets while still providing the capability to upgrade as needs evolve."

Evenlode Lite is now available for deployment and is currently being showcased at the 32nd International Defence Industry Exhibition MSPO, 3rd-6th September, at the Targi Kielce Exhibition & Conference Centre, Poland.
