Lite Coms LLC announced earlier this month that O3B mPOWER certification has been given in coalition with SES Space & Defense, on the company’s Lite Sat 2.2A Auto Acquire Terminal.
Lite Coms brings this first to market industry advancement to warfighters by offering a solution that leverages the mPOWER MEO constellation by providing high throughput, low latency satellite connectivity. The Lite Sat 2.2A by Lite Coms is the first WGS certified terminal to achieve mPOWER certification.
Evolving MEO satellite technology brought forth by industry leaders at SES provides the modern warfighter additional resiliency required for complex missions. Multipath diversity has become increasingly important in contested environments against advanced adversaries. mPOWER enhances data throughput rates to several Gbps allowing users to leverage fiber-like connectivity around the globe to achieve critical objectives.
The Lite Sat 2.2A fly-away VSAT was initially designed for the Army Phoenix-E Modernization and evolved to support several additional DoD programs. The Lite Sat 2.2A is in high volume production and has been fielded since 2020. The terminal was the first WGS and MEO O3B Classic certified terminal in 2021.
“We are very proud to be the first certified remote on the game-changing mPower Satellite Network. While it is one more accolade for the Lite Sat 2.2A, we feel this is the biggest game changer for the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines who depend on critical data throughput to carry out their mission,” said Bob Jacobson, President and CEO of Lite Coms. “We would also like to thank the tireless efforts of the engineers at SES, AvL, Mission Microwave and Orbital Research for their critical contributions to this success.”
