....will showcase its latest innovations in the maritime VSAT space—he brand new OrSat(TM) 300 and the OrBand™ system. In addition to the exhibit, ORBIT executives will be featured speakers at two conference sessions.
The newest member of ORBIT's next-generation VSAT portfolio, OrSat 300 is an inherently flexible maritime stabilized VSAT system tailored for the ever increasing high-speed, two-way broadband communications needs of the maritime market. Designed as "Ka- ready" and leveraging its unique stabilization control, OrSat 300 ensures smooth migration to future Ka- services. The 1.15m (45") system, which will be commercially available in the summer of 2012, is built to support a wide range of configurations with different RF packages (Ku- or Ka- or X-) and BUC power levels, and complies with the most stringent environmental standards.
OrBand, which was released in mid 2011, is a compact C-band maritime VSAT system that was built specifically to overcome the limitations of traditional C-band systems. OrBand is differentiated from competing solutions by its extraordinarily small footprint, outstanding RF performance, strict regulatory and support of multiple optional RF feeds. Backed by Eutelsat's standard-M characterization and ANATEL's homologation certificates, the OrBand features 2.2m/87" dish and a 2.7m/106" radome, which takes up 40 percent less deck space than industry-standard 2.4m/95" dish and 3.8m/150" radome systems. Small enough to be shipped as a single, fully assembled and tested unit in a standard 20-foot container, and designed for quick and simple single-day installation, vessels can use this system to enjoy broadband satellite communications with full global coverage.
ORBIT offers a diverse portfolio of advanced satellite communications solutions for maritime and land-based applications. ORBIT's systems are installed on over 3,500 marine platforms—from naval vessels to cargo ships, ocean liners and oil rigs—enabling TV reception and broadband IP connectivity for always-on applications such as Internet, video, telephony and other applications. ORBIT will be available to discuss and demonstrate the company's latest VSAT offerings at Booth #789. In addition, ORBIT executives will be speaking at the following sessions at the Satellite 2012 conference:
- Monday, March 12th, 10:30—The Maritime SATCOM Value Proposition—Speaker: Avi Cohen, President & CEO in Conf. Room #143A
- Monday, March 12th, 15:15—New Methods of Antenna Design—Speaker: Erez Shabirow, Senior VP Corporate Development & CTO in Conf. Room #207B
