About

The OceanTRx 4 and OceanTRx 7 are innovative, rugged, and stabilized maritime SATCOM terminals designed to provide mission- and business-critical broadband connectivity for a variety of maritime applications. The OceanTRx 4 operates in X, Ku, Ka, and wideband Ka bands, offering outstanding RF and tracking performance, high system availability, and robust performance in challenging offshore conditions. It is designed for fast one-day deployment, simple updates, and minimal maintenance, serving commercial and container ships, offshore drilling platforms, and large yachts. Key features include fast and easy installation, robustness and durability (used by navies worldwide), optional single- or dual-band simultaneous operation, worldwide connectivity over GEO, MEO, and LEO satellites, resilient and secure remote monitoring, world-class support, and a low footprint for real estate savings.

The OceanTRx 7 is an innovative platform supporting various 2.2m stabilized maritime antenna system configurations, uniquely operating in C, X, Ku, and Ka (wideband and O3b) frequency bands. It is designed to meet current and future broadband needs of the maritime market, combining exceptional RF performance and system availability with an extraordinarily small footprint. This terminal supports cruise ships, ocean liners, and commercial rigs, also featuring one-day deployment and simple ongoing updates and maintenance. Its features include a revolutionary space- and cost-saving design, unmatched low-cost shipping and rapid installation, cost-effective operations, high versatility and multiple configurations, seamless global coverage, remote monitoring, strict regulatory compliance, world-class customer support, and low footprint for real estate savings.

Both systems offer full hemispheric coverage, a radome for all-weather operation, are maintenance-free, designed for intensive operation, and provide cloud connectivity.
