According to Ofer Greenberger, ORBIT's CEO: “This follow-on order for our OceanTRx™
system serves as a confirmation of the outstanding performance and value of our maritime VSAT Systems. By deploying OceanTRx™, the Asian Navy will continue to benefit from ORBIT’s cutting edge performance and support, which enable reliable and cost effective highthroughput broadband data communications on board their ships."

Supporting a broad range of mission-critical applications, OceanTRx™ 4 features inherent field upgradability, outstanding RF performance and dynamic response under virtually any sea conditions. The innovative design of ORBIT’s OceanTRx™ systems has set the standard for maritime VSAT communications, providing industry-leading performance and significant competitive advantages in virtually every performance aspect.

These systems are considered the world’s leading solutions of their kind due to their technical performance and durability under the most demanding conditions. Equally remarkable is their compatibility with international standards, including performance and regulatory compliance per the demands of the world’s largest satellite companies.
