In the late 20th century HF lost favour as digital and higher frequency services surged. However, some communication-critical sectors sustained HF use, and we are now seeing a 21st century resurgence as lessons are being learned about the potential instability of the digital and/or UHF/SHF networks.
But many in COMINT lost their HF expertise - that unique understanding of the effects of atmospherics on HF signals, the cyclical nature of natural phenomena that impact signal integrity, and many other factors. PLATH sustained its investment and built on its knowledge base. In today's market, it's all about depth of understanding of the spectrum, and we believe we lead the pack and can accelerate and enhance your solutions in HF.
