Orbit introduces new maritime stabilized VSAT product line

Orbit Communication Systems, a world-leading provider of satellite communication, tracking and telemetry, mission-critical solutions and communications management systems, recently introduced its new and innovative maritime stabilized VSAT product line called Ocean TRx.

The company’s new line features two products -- OceanTRx 4 and OceanTRx 7 -- both designed to improve maritime communication. OceanTRx 4 supports 1.15m stabilized maritime antenna system configurations in multiband frequencies, which include X, Ku and Ka bands, and BUC power level, and works even under environmental interferences like bumps and shocks. On the other hand, OceanTRx 7 supports 2.2m stabilized maritime antenna system configurations in the same multiband frequencies as Ocean TRx, excluding X, but in addition to C. OceanTRx 7 also cuts down shipping costs because it takes up 40 percent less desk space and weighs 30 percent less than other similar systems.

"OceanTRx series brings the maritime world into the future," Orbit CEO Ofer Greenberger said in a company statement. "Featuring a variety of configurations, frequencies and power capabilities, the platforms address a wide range of maritime markets from oil & gas to cruise, commercial shipping, and naval. As we enter the Ka-band age, OceanTRx is the ultimate solution for maritime satellite communications enabling smooth migration to future high-speed Ka services for the entire Ka range. By overhauling our mechanical chassis and electronics, leveraging our long-standing reputation for innovation together with our corporate focus on service and customer satisfaction, we are committed to making maritime communications easier and better."

Aside from the OceanTRx series, the company also produced a RailTRx VSAT product line for broadband communications of inter-city, regional and high speed trains. RailTRx supports a variety of stabilized train antenna system configurations in Ku and Ka bands, features an excellent RF performance and still operate even under environmental electromagnetic disturbances.
