These deployments mark a major milestone in defence satellite communications, ensuring resilience, connectivity and security in mission-critical operations.

The Hydra 2 (Dual-link) Ka Terminal is a purpose-built SATCOM terminal optimized for maritime and land operations. It provides simultaneous dual-link connectivity, each operating at full-performance, across GEO, MEO and future LEO Ka-band networks, ensuring robust and uninterrupted data transfer in the most challenging environments. Designed for rapid deployment, it offers a fully ruggedised, field-ready solution that integrates seamlessly into existing defence infrastructure, delivering high-throughput, interference-resistant communications.

Meanwhile, the Hydra 4 (Quad-link) Multi-band Terminal represents the most advanced MilSatCom terminal available today, engineered for battlefield superiority. With four active transmission links supporting real-time, high-bandwidth data exchange across Military Ka, Commercial Ka, Ku and L-band networks, the Hydra 4 delivers mission-critical communication in contested operational zones. Built with interference-resistant and anti-jamming capabilities, this field-proven technology is already trusted by military operators across land and sea domains.

"The deployment of the Hydra 2 and Hydra 4 terminals marks a transformative moment for military SATCOM," said Paul McCarter, CEO of ALL.SPACE. "By providing resilient, multiorbit connectivity in real-world defence scenarios, we are ensuring that military forces can operate with uninterrupted, secure communications. Our technology is designed to withstand the toughest conditions while offering seamless integration across existing defence networks."

The successful deployment of these terminals reinforces ALL.SPACE’s commitment to advancing secure, resilient, and flexible SATCOM solutions for defense applications. As adversaries increasingly leverage space for operational advantage, defence organisations require the most adaptable and robust communication platforms available. ALL.SPACE’s multiorbit, multiband technology provides military users with a tactical edge, ensuring continuous, secure connectivity across satellite networks.
