About
The Hydra 4 is All.Space’s most advanced terminal, providing four simultaneous full-performance satellite links across Military Ka-band (GEO/MEO), Commercial Ka-band (GEO/MEO), Ku-band (LEO), and Iridium L-band (LEO/GEO) in a single integrated chassis. It combines a Hydra 2 dual-Ka module, a Ku-band terminal, and an Iridium L-band data gateway with swappable modular components and all-electronic solid-state beam steering on every link — no moving parts across the entire system. This quad-link architecture delivers unprecedented SATCOM resilience for defense operations in contested, GPS-denied, or electronically jammed environments: if one network or constellation is degraded or unavailable, the terminal seamlessly maintains connectivity across the others. Certified on SES O3b mPOWER and validated by the U.S. Army, the Hydra 4 has been deployed with the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, and selected by the Royal Canadian Navy for shore-based SATCOM trials at Maritime Forces Pacific (2026). Its MIL-STD ruggedized design supports deployment on land vehicles, naval vessels, and shore stations.
