Ovzon has completed a number of trials in the Arctic as the company looks to prove its technology in arctic environments. The company has conducted three separate High North expeditions during 2025 and 2026, testing the limits of the Ovzon 3 satellite and its mobile satellite terminals to nearly 1,300 km inside the Arctic Circle. The aim has been to validate Ovzon’s performance as a strategic enabler for NATO forces operating in the High North. Ovzon announced the results of these expeditions, July. 9.
Ovzon has undertaken several testing scenarios to validate the performance of the Ovzon 3 satellite well inside the Arctic Circle, and beyond the ranges typically associated with Geostationary (GEO) satellites. During 2025 and 2026, Ovzon has conducted three separate expeditions, testing and demonstrating the performance of the Ovzon 3 satellite, and the Ovzon mobile satellite terminals: Ovzon T6 and Ovzon T7.
The tests and demonstrations conducted during the Arctic Expeditions aims to validate the functionality and performance of Ovzon 3 and the company’s mobile satellite terminals at extreme northern latitudes in the Arctic environment on land and at sea.
“Each expedition has taken us further north and given us greater confidence in what Ovzon 3 can do in the Arctic. The results speak for themselves – reliable, high-speed connectivity at latitudes where most satellite systems simply cannot deliver. This is exactly what NATO forces operating in the High North need. We intend to keep pushing the boundaries,” Tom Hopkins, COO, Ovzon, said in a statement.
