ALL.SPACE unveils Hydra MAX

ALL.SPACE has revealed a major advancement in mobile satellite communications with the successful demonstration of Hydra MAX - the first network independent terminal of its kind to deliver ultra wideband communications to multiple satellites simultaneously.

Hydra MAX enables simultaneous connections (full duplex, i.e. both transmit and receive on each beam), unlocking resilient connectivity across all orbits - including next-generation LEO Ka-band networks - even in the most demanding operational environments. With military-grade ruggedness and full integration of modems, tactical comms and edge computing, it marks a significant leap in the capabilities of mobile communications systems.

Unlike other systems that can only switch between multiple orbits, Hydra MAX is truly full-duplex - capable of sending and receiving data on both beams at the same time, across the full scan range. Unlocking the ability to hold connections to two or more independent networks at the same time. This technical breakthrough sets ALL.SPACE apart as the only terminal provider offering this level of capability and performance in such a rugged, mobile form-factor.

Hydra MAX will connect seamlessly across LEO, MEO, HEO and GEO satellites, including WGS, SES’s O3b mPOWER, Viasat 3 & GX, emerging Ka-band constellations such as Amazon Kuiper & Telesat Lightspeed. With advanced digital beamforming technology enabling mono-pulse tracking at over 400Hz, it maintains high-integrity links even under the most intense motion profiles, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity for mission-critical operations on the move.

Engineered for the world’s most demanding use cases, Hydra MAX also supports defence-grade, frequency-hopping sovereign waveforms over the Military Ka-band frequencies, offering unmatched resilience to electronic warfare and jamming threats. With four field-swappable bays for integrated modems, tactical radios, or edge compute, and full MIL-STD 810 certification, it’s battle-ready – proven to perform across maritime and land platforms while manoeuvering at speed over the roughest terrain.

John-Paul Szczepanik, CTO, ALL.SPACE, said: "Hydra MAX is not just a product milestone - it’s a signal to the market that ALL.SPACE is redefining what's possible in mobile communication. Simultaneous multi-beam, full-duplex, wideband connectivity - while moving, while under threat, while connected to three different orbits if you want.

“Hydra KuKa will take this even further, continuing to place ALL.SPACE as the go-to for defence and commercial customers looking for performance, flexibility and resilience."

The innovation doesn’t stop with MAX. Building on this breakthrough, ALL.SPACE is now advancing its third-generation platform: Hydra KuKa - extending its dual-beam, full-duplex, 500MHz, capability across both Ku- and Ka-bands simultaneously.

Following a successful proof-of-concept demonstration in September 2024 and a Preliminary Design Review (PDR) with a key customer in May 2025, Hydra KuKa is now progressing through final design, test and certification. This next-generation platform is set to deliver the ultimate in satcom interoperability across every major satellite network out there - and usher in a new era of true hybrid mobile connectivity.
