About the OceanTRx systems
The OceanTRx systems are based on the OceanTRx platform, but with additional advanced military features. These satellite communication systems are intended for use on marine platforms, supporting a variety of antenna system configurations. With a diameter of 1.15 meters for the OceanTRx4 MIL and 2.2 meters for the OceanTRx7, the systems operate on X, Ku, Ka and C frequencies, and enable simultaneous operation of a variety of frequencies for global activities. Both OceanTRx systems can be connected to a unique Orbit switching matrix (OSM) which enable multiple internal connections and switching of up to eight antennas and eight modems, according to the customer’s requirements. Designed for quick and convenient installation, maintenance and upgrade, the systems provide defense customers with a combination of exceptional RF performance and availability.
