Orbit Communication Systems, a leading global provider of satellite-tracking maritime and ground-station solutions, unveils its latest dual-band Ku/Ka terminal – the OceanTRx 7.
Developed in close cooperation with SES Networks, Orbit's 2.2m (87") dual-band Ku/Ka terminal augments the existing dual-band C/Ka terminal, supporting a multi-band terminal product range. The expansion of the frequency ranges and flexibility of the OceanTRx terminal enables ease of switching between SES's multi-orbit Geostationary (GEO) and Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites, the Company said in a release.
"Orbit is a long-term technology partner for SES. Over the last four years we have become the leading provider of high-speed satellite terminals to large class cruise vessels, and have enabled SES Networks to deliver high-speed broadband services to its customers' passengers and crew," said Orbit CEO Ben Weinberger. "This newest compact terminal can be easily installed and will be able to offer outstanding performance that is equivalent to a 2.4-meter dish."
"Orbit has been a creative and responsive partner as we expand our maritime managed services," commented Eric Watko, Executive Vice President, Product, Marketing & Strategy of SES Networks. "We value Orbit's ease of integration and reliability as enablers for our customers to leverage the benefits of the market's only integrated multi-orbit data services. The new multi-band terminal will enable an even broader range of services via our GEO and MEO satellite system."
