Cobham Satcom to Roll
Out O3b mPOWER Transportable Terminals for SES
Cobham Satcom,and SES
announced a contract for a range of O3b
mPOWER-enabled Communications on the Pause
(COTP) terminals. The contract consists of
Cobham Satcom's rugged, man-portable LEO/MEO/GEO
capable TACTICAL TRACKER terminal series ranging
from 1.35 to 2.64 meters and the widely
successful EXPLORER 8120 vehicle mount tracking
antenna. The TACTICAL TRACKER Terminal serves
the Government and Defense segment, while
Government agencies, carriers, and enterprise
customers utilize the EXPLORER terminals for
service augmentation and restoration.
The active tracking
TACTICAL TRACKER terminals will enable seamless
connectivity across SES's multi-orbit network of
Geostationary (GEO) and MEO satellites, with
forward compatibility on SES's new MEO system
O3b mPOWER, as well as SES's second-generation
high-throughput low-latency constellation. The
O3b mPOWER system represents a tremendous step
forward in communication satellite capabilities,
providing unprecedented flexibility and
throughput. The new terminals expand Cobham
Satcom's O3b mPOWER terminal portfolio, joining
the recently certified Sea Tel 2400 Tri-band
terminal for the energy market.
"We are pleased to provide
new capabilities to SES for the growing COTP
segment and to offer proven defense and
enterprise solutions," noted Kirby Nell, VP of
Business Development at Cobham Satcom. "The
TACTICAL TRACKERs are the first, man-portable,
multi-orbit terminals that actively track across
GEO, LEO, and MEO systems, providing
mission-critical connectivity to government
customers. In addition, the adaptation of the
well-proven EXPLORER 8120 also meets the needs
of some of the largest telco carriers."
