Israeli Orbit Communications Systems, a global provider of maritime and airborne SATCOM terminals, tracking ground station solutions, and mission-critical airborne audio management systems, is to unveil its Line-of-Sight Multi-Purpose Terminals (MPT) for SATCOM communication for armored land platforms of all sizes.

According to the company, Orbit’s line of multi-purpose terminals, including the MPT-30 and MPT-46, redefine mobile communication with unparalleled reliability and speed. Designed with versatility in mind, these compact, yet powerful, terminals can be installed on a variety of mobile platforms, from armored vehicles to ATVs, ensuring seamless broadband connectivity in even the most challenging terrains. Their low size, weight, and power consumption (SWaP) design offers high performance - over 126 Mbps for downloads and up to 29 Mbps for uploads. This ensures that high-volume data, including live video streams, can be transmitted without interruption, a critical factor for mission success.

Moreover, the terminals are built for the future, supporting a wide range of satellite orbits—Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), Geostationary Orbit (GEO), and Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO)—and are compatible with both Ku or Ka frequency bands. By catering to the diverse needs of modern military operations, they enable forces to maintain critical communication lines, enhancing situational awareness and operational effectiveness across a spectrum of environments.
