Orbit Communication Systems is rolling out a new on-the-move satcom terminal geared toward military vehicles and maritime vessels. The company announced the new MPT30Ka Satcom On-The-Move (SOTM) terminal on Tuesday. It is the company’s most compact satellite communication system available for military mobile platforms. 

The terminal is designed to be compact and light for rapid ground deployment without complex assembly. Orbit said it is compatible with multi-orbit satellite constellations across Geostationary Orbit (GEO), Medium-Earth Orbit (MEO), High-Earth Orbit (HEO), and Low-Earth Orbit (LEO). The system meets multiple military standards such as MIL-STD-461G/810G/1275 to be resilient to electromagnetic interference.

“The MPT30Ka represents a breakthrough in tactical satcom It delivers exceptionally high performance, giving forces in the field the compactness, flexibility, and reliability they need to succeed in today’s demanding missions. Orbit’s satcom systems for land vehicles have already been battle-proven by armies worldwide, and the MPT30Ka builds on this legacy with unmatched capability in the most compact form,” Orbit CEO Daniel Eshchar said in a release.
