Orbit Communications has been awarded a $6 million contract in Asia to supply advanced satellite communications systems for new naval military platforms from an unnamed Asian integration company. These OceanTRx 7MIL systems will be delivered between 2025 and 2030 and will provide continuous satellite connectivity across multiple frequencies to the world's leading fleets. Orbit announced the contract award early Wednesday morning.
The satellite communications system supports a variety of antenna system configurations. The 2.2 meter diameter OceanTRx 7MIL operates on X, Ku, Ka and C frequencies, allowing simultaneous operation of different frequencies for global operations.
“We are proud to continue our partnership with a leading integrator in Asia and provide Orbit's cutting-edge systems to one of the world's leading fleets. The OceanTRx 7Mil platform underscores our leadership in military maritime communications solutions, providing dual-band capabilities to meet both military and civilian needs in a single system. We are committed to building a large backlog to support our continued growth as a leading company in the sector,” Orbit CEO Daniel Ashcher said in a statement.
