Tel Aviv: Israeli company Orbit Communication is launching the MPT30Ka Deployable SATCOM system, a cutting-edge multi-purpose satellite communication terminal (MPT) designed for rapid deployment in the field.Â
According to the company, based on the battle-proven MPT30 platform, this innovative system ensures uninterrupted and secure connectivity for military forces operating in dynamic and complex environments.
Orbit says that the MPT30Ka Deployable system is designed as man-portable for an easy field deployment of a SATCOM terminal featuring a roll-on/roll-off capability. This capability provides military forces with the flexibility to establish a high-performance SATCOM link in minutes, ensuring real-time data transmission, secure voice communications, and live video streaming even in GPS-denied environments.
The MPT30Ka Deployable delivers seamless connectivity across diverse terrains, supporting GEO, MEO, LEO, and HEO satellites for global coverage. With high EIRP and G/T values, it enables efficient broadband communication even at low elevation angles. Its high EIRP Spectral Density (EIRPsd) characteristics allows for reduced bandwidth allocation and makes it a perfect choice for military customers with large fleet of SATCOM systems.
Optimised for military operations, the system meets MIL-STD compliance and is ruggedised to operate in extreme conditions. Its plug-and-play functionality ensures rapid activation with a single-button setup, allowing forces to establish a stable SATCOM link within minutes.
Designed for mission-critical reliability, the terminal operates even under GPS jamming and spoofing conditions. Additionally, its compact, lightweight, and power-efficient design enhances availability while reducing operational costs and satellite resources.
The MPT30Ka system variants can be mounted on mobile platforms such as vehicles or and vessels making it an ideal solution for modern mobile defense forces.
Daniel Eshchar, Orbit’s CEO said that in today’s battlefield, satellite communication is not just an advantage—it is a necessity.
”Forces require resilient, high-performance connectivity to ensure mission success. The MPT30Ka Deployable SATCOM system delivers precisely that: a robust, continuous, and high-quality communication link that keeps troops connected under any conditions. This system plays a critical role in modern warfare, providing the reliability and flexibility essential for operational superiority,” Eshchar added.
