W5 Technologies enhances MILSATCOM with their Mighty MUOOS™ portable solution for SATCOM troubleshooting

September 17, 2025

W5 Technologies offers Mighty MUOOS™, the only field-ready, MUOS-compatible portable solution for satellite communication troubleshooting—with Mighty MUOOS™, military and defense contractors can perform vital pre-deployment testing, potentially saving lives and eliminating the need for costly lab access.

Mighty MUOOS™ is the first and only off-satellite troubleshooting system to offer real-time satellite communication diagnostics outside traditional labs, providing mission-ready solutions in a fraction of the time. As Mighty MUOOS™ enables Department of War (DoW) units to connect to the MUOS network faster than traditional methods, it directly speeds up the life-saving communications capability in the hands of soldiers.

Built by the same engineers who helped design the Mobile User Objective System (MUOS), Mighty MUOOS™ ensures that military communications systems are fully operational and ready for deployment in the most challenging environments.

  • Mighty MUOOS™ helps defense contractors and military units save time and money.
  • SBIR-Backed Innovation: SBIR contracts, recognizing W5’s commitment to innovation, provided the seed funding for Mighty MUOOS™, which is continuously updated with the latest satellite communication protocols.
  • Field Collaboration with U.S. Navy Labs: W5’s collaboration with Navy labs ensures rapid technology deployment and seamless integration into mission operations.

As the only provider of a fully functional MUOS simulator, W5 is committed to meeting the critical needs of decision-makers who must ensure that satellite communications systems work the first time in the field. W5’s engineers continue to work closely with DoW and government officials to navigate complex procurement timelines, ensuring that Mighty MUOOS™ is available when and where it’s needed most.

Key Features of Mighty MUOOS™:

  • Mission-Proven: Designed by the engineers who helped create MUOS, Mighty MUOOS™ is a rugged, real-world-tested solution.
  • Portable, Lab-in-a-Box Design: Mighty MUOOS™ is compact, field-ready, and affordable, roughly the size of a washing machine, with even smaller versions under development.
  • Cost-Effective: At a fraction of the cost of traditional lab testing and travel,

Our team at W5 has deep roots in both commercial cellular technology and MUOS,” said Jason Ferguson, President of W5 Technologies. “We were there in the early stages of MUOS development, and today, we bring that experience to our customers. Mighty MUOOS™ is the result of decades of mission-critical communication work, tested in the field and designed to help save lives.”

About W5 Technologies

Founded in 1991 and based in Scottsdale, Arizona, W5 Technologies has deep roots in the commercial cellular and MUOS industries. The company is led by the engineers who helped build the original MUOS system, giving them unparalleled expertise in designing mission-critical communications systems. W5 is the first and only provider of a fully functional MUOS-compatible product on the market, with a proven track record of on-time, on-budget delivery. As a business with DCAA-approved accounting, W5 is committed to providing reliable, innovative solutions to military and defense contractors.
