Portable Satcom Terminal Supports Quick Deployments

For portability and rapid deployment, Orbit Communication Systems Ltd. unveiled its model MPT30Ka portable satellite-communication (satcom) terminal to tackle communications in the toughest terrains and most difficult operating conditions. The multipurpose terminal (MPT) is designed for uninterrupted secure connectivity even in situations where Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite access has been jammed or denied.

Based on the firm’s well-established model MPT30 satcom terminal, the model MPT30Ka is easily transported and well-suited for on-the-move and in-the-field operations. It enables real-time data transmission, secure voice communications, and live video streaming within minutes of reaching a desired setup location. The MPT supports communications via various satellite types including in geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO), low Earth orbit (LEO), and medium Earth orbit (MEO) altitudes. 

The model MPT30Ka portable terminal is optimized for military use under challenging conditions and meets military standards compliance. Its “plug-and-play” functionality is enhanced by single-button setup for rapid deployment. The compact, lightweight terminal design (see image above) is also power-efficient for cost-effective operation. It can be easily transported to remote sites or even mounted on vehicles for ease of portability.

Daniel Eshchar, Orbit’s CEO, commented, "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.”
