Maritime and airborne SATCOM terminals provider Orbit Communication Systems has secured a USD3 million contract with a prominent European integrator to supply its advanced OceanTRx 4MIL satellite communication systems for a NATO navy. The systems will be installed on military maritime platforms during 2025. They will provide the navy with continuous satellite connectivity across four bands.
“This order contributes to the ongoing growth of Orbit’s backlog since the beginning of the year, and we are proud of another order from a leading integrator in Europe for our systems to be delivered to a NATO navy,” said Orbit CEO Daniel Eshchar.

It supports a variety of antenna configurations with a diameter of 1.15 metres, operating in Ku, X, Ka Commercial and Ka Military frequencies, including a unique feature for simultaneous operation of multiple frequencies for global activities.
“The OceanTRx 4MIL, which is part of our proven family of naval military systems, will enable the customer to work with four different frequencies for maximum operational flexibility.,” said Eshchar. “The contract highlights Orbit’s technological leadership in satellite communication systems for naval military platforms and prominent navies and demonstrates to our commitment to continue our growth as a leading company in its field.”
