Designed for discretion and engineered to operate in the planet’s harshest environments, it is the most robust, effective and reliable commercial TacSat in the market.
Powered by Iridium satellite technology, the 100% BLOS, Push-To-Talk device keeps you connected through a highly-resilient network, while end-to-end encryption protects your information and allows you to operate without constraints. Encrypted GPS-based position location information offers real-time situational awareness and supports rapid decision-making.
Bracer is the ideal choice for the often-neglected contingency and emergency components of PACE plans, offering reliable communications and situational awareness when primary and alternate communication technologies fail.

Interoperability Update: Bracer™ has now been proven to be Plug and Play with the following products:
Bracer sets the standard in secure commercial satellite communication. Combining user-controlled end-to-end encryption with global satellite coverage, it is the most robust, effective and reliable commercial TacSat in the market.
When applied to the PACE methodology, the system can be employed across all aspects of PACE to either provide Primary communications or as an instant failover to the other systems. It can also be employed to complement Primary and Alternate systems as part of link engineering, whilst providing situational awareness in the background, enhancing capability.
Primary. The primary means of communication is usually a robust, high grade encrypted digitised military system that operates within the VHF/UHF frequency band.
Alternate. If the primary system fails then the user is required to switch to the alternate system which is likely to be based on a complex and high grade encrypted system, which is part of a wider Combat Net Radio programme. The user will usually experience some loss in capability when using the alternate system.
Contingency. Due to budget constraints, this gap area is often masked by the use of mobile phones, which cannot be relied upon in the operational domain as it is neither reliable nor secure.
Emergency. As with Contingency solutions, little investment is given to Emergency systems and the available technology’s capability has dropped significantly from the primary system.
Responsive, reliable, simple and secure, Bracer increases reactiveness, enhances situational awareness and passage of information, improving the ability to prosecute effective Command and Control and can increase the speed of the decision making cycle. Bracer is the ultimate PACE solution that seamlessly bridges the gap across the Primary, Alternate, Contingency and Emergency requirements delivering secure voice, data and positional location reporting.
Providing Command, Control and Coordination in support of Border Force Protection is a complex task.
Security Forces face the challenge of communicating in all types of environments (land, air, maritime, mountainous and urban). The distances can be extensive and often go through areas where it is uneconomical or unfeasible to be support by terrestrial infrastructure. Bracer Secure Satellite Push-to-Talk system provides a simple solution that can complement existing radio systems or become the primary capability in its own right.
Bracer has in built end to end encrypted (FIPS 140-2 Level 3) position location reporting that is received by all handsets within a Talkgroup. This powerful capability tracks handsets at approximately 500ms from the point of transmission to point of receipt. Each handset can push its position reports with every voice call, a waypoint option or if the device moves more than 500m/1000m/2000m from its last report location (depending on user selected setting). It also has a pull function where a handset can request Position Reports immediately from other handsets within the Talkgroup or be set up to pull at periodic intervals.
Unlike many other tracking systems there is no back-end infrastructure requirement and the information is received directly from the Bracer Handset. This reduces latency with receiving reports and negates the requirement for a secondary bearer system to link into a separate network.
Bracer delivers guaranteed performance in the planet’s harshest environments, across land, sea and air. Rated IP66 and IP67, Bracer can withstand extreme conditions, keeping global teams connected when it matters the most.

What users say about the Bracer system, across domains and deployments
From special forces to Arctic convoys, users around the world have adopted Bracer as part of their operational communications. Here's what they’ve said about its performance — in their own words.
“The system is easy to use and reliable – it simply works.”
“Bracer is now mandated for all operational deployments.”
“It’s a true PACE radio that allows for use in numerous differing roles.”
“Bracer has transformed our communications on the move and at reach. The position reporting feature gives us real-time visibility of our convoys and lets us engage with key personnel during transit. Before Bracer, we were using procedures from World War II — posting personnel at key points to report as convoys passed.”
“Normally we’d need to position multiple rebroadcast stations to sustain VHF coverage. With Bracer, we maintained reliable comms throughout — without that extra infrastructure.”
“Setup took under five minutes. We hit the ground and were able to function immediately. Bracer gave us clear voice and position reporting from the start.”
“Bracer was in every crew grab bag. When one aircraft had to make an unplanned landing due to mechanical issues, the crew used Bracer to contact HQ within minutes. The position reporting meant there was no need to pass coordinates — the Ops Room already had them.”
“The Bracer system has been hugely effective in support of our maritime operations. Lightweight and easy to install on RIBs, vessels, or wear on the body — it’s hugely versatile. Quality in a lightweight package.”
“Interoperability is key. We’ve integrated Bracer with MANET radios, RoIP devices (WAVE, Cubic Vocality), tactical harnesses (Invisio), and Tactical Voice Bridge kits (Resilience/Basecamp). It’s plug-and-play — a lightweight radio that doesn’t need bespoke batteries, and works across our systems.”
“Bracer’s position overlay into ATAK gave our Ops Team a real-time picture of deployed assets. Our HQ — thousands of miles away — could monitor it live. Bracer’s power is in its simplicity.”
