2 B ased on its long experience and worldwide leadership in military communications and battlespace digitization, Thales presents NEXIUM Theatre, its solution to provide secure and resilient communications all over the theatre of operations. Through an unified and modular approach, NEXIUM Theatre guarantees information superiority for deployed forces facing various situations, such as intensive combats, peacekeeping activities, disaster relief operations. From large multinational headquarters to On-the-Move commander vehicles, NEXIUM Theatre provides users with various communication s (voice, data, messaging, chat, video...) through easy-to-use interface and management system. SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS Military or civilian satellite communications used to establish connections between various entities (HQs, vehicles OTP/OTM, ships, soldiers) Alternative solutions to overcome radio limits (distance, terrain profile and throughput) NEXIUM Theatre is built around Thales's AMS (Advanced Military Services): a unique capability that solves both interconnection of various communication technologies and information routing with priorization over constrained networks. The system integrates HF, VHF and UHF radio networks along with other technologies such as LTE/PMR. By using a modular architecture based on Commercial Offthe-Shelf (COTS) and Military Off-the-Shelf (MOTS) field-proven equipment, NEXIUM Theatre is ready to integrate future technology evolutions, while taking into account the customer's legacy.

Users can access the network locally through remote access rack or through LTE/Wi-Fi base station. End-to-end Security NEXIUM Theatre implements several security mechanims at transmission, network and levels: frequency hopping on satcom and LOS, multi-level data encryption, advanced network protection, users management. Unified Management System At central level, it offers tools for network planning, mission preparation, coverage prediction, remote configuration and monitoring of communication nodes. At local level, it provides configuration and monitoring tools. It is designed for being easily mastered by military non-specialist operators. AMS Advanced Military Services (AMS) allow user localization, pre-emption, precedence, roaming and ensure both mediation and routing fonctionalities over heterogeneous bearers on the theatre. They offer standardized interfaces towards customer applications and provide a set of communication s such as voice, data, messaging, chat, video... Integrated Communication Nodes NEXIUM Theatre proposes several integrated solutions for various operational needs: shelter, vehicle, tent or barracks. It also takes into account customer s legacy environments and specific requirements regarding integration. NET-IP Net-IP ensures end-to-end Quality of Service in constrained, encrypted, multi-bearer networks. It meets the STANAG 4731 requirements using MPLS technologies. Net-IP is part of the AMS solution.
