costs.

our
clients.
With

Orbit’s
VSAT
systems
for
the
Oil

in
terms
of
cost/benefit
ratio.

this
order,
Orbit
continues
to
demonstrate
its
ability
to
provide
custom
tailored
solutions
for
these
specific
applications,

Mr.
Cohen
goes
on
to
say,
“This
order
further
reinforces
Orbit’s
confidence
in a
near
future
reality
where
every
platform,
stationary
or
mobile,
will
have
broadband
connectivity.
The
linear
sales
growth
we’ve
been
experiencing
appears
to
be
on
the
cusp
of
turning
into
an
exponential
one.”
