Orbit Communications Systems Introduces Advanced Line-of-Sight Multi-Purpose Terminals for Military SATCOM

Defense News , Israel :-  Orbit Communications Systems, an Israeli technology company, has introduced its innovative Line-of-Sight Multi-Purpose Terminals (MPT) designed specifically for SATCOM communication on armored land platforms of varying sizes. The company asserts that its Multi-Purpose Terminals, including the MPT-30 and MPT-46 models, redefine mobile communication by offering unparalleled reliability and speed.

Emphasizing versatility, these compact yet powerful terminals are adaptable for installation on a range of mobile platforms, from armored vehicles to ATVs, ensuring seamless broadband connectivity even in the most challenging terrains. With a focus on size, weight, and power consumption (SWaP) design, these terminals deliver high performance, boasting over 126 Mbps for downloads and up to 29 Mbps for uploads.

Orbit Communications Systems highlights that this ensures uninterrupted transmission of high-volume data, including live video streams—an essential element for mission success. Furthermore, the terminals are future-proof, supporting various satellite orbits such as Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), Geostationary Orbit (GEO), and Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO), while being compatible with both Ku and Ka frequency bands. Catering to the diverse needs of modern military operations, they empower forces to maintain critical communication lines, thereby enhancing situational awareness and operational effectiveness across different environments.

These terminals adhere to MIL-STD and civil standards, along with international, national, and satellite SATCOM regulations. They seamlessly integrate with military satellite systems, making them an ideal choice for Intelligence, Reconnaissance, and Surveillance (ISR) applications. These applications demand highly accurate tracking capabilities and meet the 'everywhere, all the time' coverage requirements of military users.

Dany Eshchar, CEO of Orbit Communications Systems, expresses pride in expanding the MPT family and providing its high-performance capabilities to military vehicles of all sizes. He emphasizes that Orbit's MPT systems have been successfully deployed on various mobile platforms worldwide, now offering 'anywhere, anytime' communications to forces in the field, ensuring the successful completion of complex missions such as border protection, ISTAR missions, and more.
