Data On Demand – A Full Picture of Data Available at the Tactical Edge

Department of Defense (DoD) officials and operators agree that a data-driven network, one that supports faster and better decisions and actions, is key to defeating our adversaries. Among the issues facing the Army as it attempts to create this network is limited visibility into the various types of data available at the node level. A vast array of undiscovered-yet-critical data is routinely left at the edge, hidden in plain sight.  

Beyond that, another complication is limited network bandwidth that is regularly overwhelmed by competing applications’ demands such as NetOps and cybersecurity activities needed to maintain the network. At the tactical edge, every moment and every connection counts. Particularly in austere environments, the DoD must be able to utilize data and bandwidth reliably and strategically for decision dominance.  

That’s why CodeMettle’s software solution creates full visibility of the various types of data available at the edge. It also enables network operators to monitor and control bandwidth allocation, so they can prioritize bandwidth at any time and ultimately convey mission-critical insights to relevant decision-makers. Instead of bundling data and pushing it to the cloud, our solution makes the data visible at the edge. And, as mission requirements evolve, operators can quickly decide which data to transmit, to whom and when. 

As the DoD moves toward a data-driven network, greater visibility into the current state of the network is critical to enhancing mission readiness and enabling informed, rapid decisions that are more precise. CodeMettle’s software solution provides near real-time visibility into the network’s baseline and current state, so Warfighters at the edge can confidently perform their duties and maintain the network. Ultimately, access to mission-critical data will play a decisive role in improving the quality and speed of decisions that will give us a tactical advantage over our adversaries.

CodeMettle Wins SiriusXM Satellite Contract

CodeMettle, an advanced developer of NetOps software, announced today that it has been contracted for Satellite Monitor and Control services by SiriusXM. Through this new contract, CodeMettle will implement distributed management and operations of SiriusXM’s Satellite Telemetry, Tracking and Control (TT&C) systems. The CodeMettle Earth Station Management solution is powered by their enterprise NetOps software, Meridian.

“We are pleased to extend our agreement with SiriusXM and provide a modern solution to TT&C Earth Station Management,” said Richard Graham, CEO of CodeMettle.

Meridian is a software product that simplifies human processes through a familiar and user-friendly UI, helping users to be self-sufficient in evolving the system and automations over time.

The contract win further establishes CodeMettle as a unique and innovative Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) technology provider. Their products are easily applied in commercial and defense organizations with similar operational challenges of managing disparate and complex communications networks.

CodeMettle Selected by U.S. Army to Continue Critical Work on INB2 Contract

INB2 Software Drastically Cuts Time Soldiers Need to Stand Up Radios in the Field

ATLANTA, October 4, 2022 – CodeMettle, an advanced developer of Network Operations software, has been contracted to expand the capabilities and features of the U.S. Army’s Integrated NetOps Battalion and Below (INB2) radio NetOps solution for the Army’s Integrated Tactical Network (ITN) radio networks. The contract, originally slated from January 2022 through January 2023 has been expanded and extended through May 2023 by the Army’s Program Executive Office, Command, Control and Communications Tactical (PEO C3T); and Project Manager Interoperability, Integration and Services (PM I2S).

”CodeMettle’s work in support of INB2 reflects the Army’s strategy by providing the first and only lower tactical tier network solution that manages all Integrated Tactical Network radios in a single interface at the edge,” said Richard Graham, CEO of CodeMettle. “We’re honored to continue providing INB2 software to support our warfighters and this critical Army mission.”

INB2 provides monitoring and management of the ITN components architecture. The program has already cut the time soldiers spend provisioning and standing up radio networks from weeks to hours because it is designed to run out-of-the-box even by relatively untrained soldiers with a user-friendly interface.

“INB2 has been invited to further develop and assess the solution with Soldiers to incorporate feedback and provide additional validation of the effectiveness and simplicity of the solution when compared to current operating processes,” commented David Lassiter, VP of CodeMettle.

New services included in this extension are the interoperability of additional NetOps processes that enables the Army’s ITN and Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) network to work together with other UNO mid-tier acquisitions such as IRIS and Planner. CodeMettle will continue its work on enhancing a Radio NetOps software package that combines radio status, logical mappings, geo mappings, and radio monitoring and management all in one user interface.

CodeMettle Announces Industry Veteran Mike Mostow as First COO

Mostow to Play Integral Role in CodeMettle’s Continued Strategic Growth

ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 7, 2022 – CodeMettle, an innovative developer of NetOps software from the edge to the enterprise, today announced Mike Mostow as its first chief operating officer. Mostow brings more than 25 years of experience in operations and sales leadership, along with a proven track record of building and scaling teams in fast-growing enterprise software and technology companies. 

“We welcome Mike Mostow as our first-ever COO to guide our continued growth,” said Richard Graham, CEO of CodeMettle. “Mike will play an integral role in that growth by leading business development, sales, marketing and operations.

CodeMettle Launches Terminus 2.0 at TechNet Augusta 2022

Upgraded Product Simplifies Logistics, Achieves Unified Network Operations for U.S. Defense

AUGUSTA, Ga., Aug. 15, 2022 – CodeMettle, an innovative developer of NetOps software, today announced the launch of Terminus 2.0 at TechNet Augusta 2022. Developed with a strategic focus on Warfighter requirements, Terminus 2.0 is the only commercial grade software developed from the ground up to manage and control tactical diverse communications nodes at scale in contested and congested networks.

“Tactical DoD networks are critical infrastructure that need to adapt to changes at the speed of battle,” said Richard Graham, CEO of CodeMettle. “Terminus 2.0 was built in collaboration with soldiers, for soldiers. It is a complete nodal management product designed to make the stand-up and operation of any tactical node simple. Terminus 2.0 has been designed to meet or exceed the Army’s known objectives for Unified Network Operations at the tactical edge.”  

CodeMettle software simplifies node management by reducing the software tools and the cognitive load required to run the network at the tactical edge. Terminus 2.0 is designed to be run out-of-the-box by relatively untrained  soldiers with little experience. Because of this, soldiers operating with Terminus 2.0 can more quickly and easily than ever before stand up and run a node for critical communications services at the edge. 

In the 2.0 release, Terminus is now compatible with any baseband kit out the box, i.e., it manages baseband systems with no specialized configuration required. In 2.0, the process of setting up systems has been streamlined to lower training requirements and accelerate node setup. The UI is built to the Google Material UI standard, making it intuitive for anyone to use, enhanced by a visualization technique called progressive disclosure to expose only what is needed, when it is needed to simplify node operations.
