Orbit Communication Systems Ltd. (TASE: ORBI), a key global supplier of maritime and airborne SATCOM terminals, tracking ground station solutions, and mission-critical airborne audio management systems, has secured a $6 million contract with a major Asian integrator. The contract involves the supply of advanced satellite communication systems for new naval military platforms, with deliveries scheduled between 2025 and 2030. These OceanTRx 7MIL systems will ensure continuous satellite connectivity across multiple frequencies for a leading global naval fleet.

Daniel Ashchar, CEO of Orbit, stated, "This order represents another significant milestone in expanding our order backlog this year. We are proud to continue our partnership with a leading Asian integrator, delivering Orbit's cutting-edge systems for a prominent global fleet. The OceanTRx 7Mil platform underscores our leadership in military marine communication solutions, offering a dual-band capability that meets both military and civilian needs on a single system. We are committed to building a significant backlog to support our ongoing growth as a leading company in our field."

The OceanTRx 7MIL is the latest addition to over 30 years of field-proven maritime SATCOM terminal systems used by NATO and allied navies. It provides reliable, high-capacity, long-range communications for navy vessels operating under extreme conditions. This satellite communication system supports various antenna system configurations. With a 2.2-meter diameter, the OceanTRx 7MIL operates on X, Ku, Ka, and C frequencies, enabling simultaneous operation across different frequencies for global activities. Additionally, it can be connected to Orbit's unique switching matrix (OSM), which allows multiple internal connections and switching of up to 8 antennas and 8 modems according to customer requirements.

The OceanTRx 7MIL is engineered to operate in the crowded and hostile electromagnetic environment of modern warships, with minimal impact on other communication, sensor, and weapon systems. Designed for quick installation, maintenance, and upgrades, the system offers defense customers a combination of exceptional RF performance and availability.
