Orbit and Viasat To Collaborate On Next-Generation Airborne Satellite Communication Systems
Revolutionary Multi-Purpose Terminal Will Seamlessly Connect Government Customers Across Viasat's Global Satellite Networks
When available, Orbit will introduce next-generation airborne SATCOM systems that will seamlessly integrate across Viasat's global Ka-band networks, which include the next-generation high-capacity ViaSat-3 network and the advanced Global Xpress (GX) network. These systems are designed to work with military Ka-band HCX steerable beams and are defined as WGS ready terminals. The innovative MPT systems consolidate network capabilities, allowing seamless switching for users.
The agreement includes delivery of 12" / 30cm and 18" / 45cm airborne terminals for military and government use, utilizing dual polarization and supporting the entire 3.5 GHz of Ka-band frequencies for high-speed data transmission and robust connectivity in dynamic environments.
These systems are designed to support multiple networks, including various types of Viasat satellites. This flexibility will help increase resilient connectivity for customers with a simple, multi-network terminal capability that supports military operational needs.
Daniel Eschar, CEO of Orbit Communication Systems, stated, "We are immensely proud to be working with Viasat to supply the next generation of satellite communication systems, which will pave the way for connectivity with cutting-edge satellites boasting exceptional performance. This marks a significant achievement for our collaboration with Viasat, a major leader in the satellite services sector, serving military, government, and commercial clients. These systems will redefine airborne communication, ensuring seamless integration with advanced satellites."
