ALL.SPACE Hydra MAX certified for SES O3b mPOWER network

ALL.SPACE’s second-generation terminal Hydra MAX has achieved certification for operation on SES’s O3b mPOWER network, expanding access to high-performance medium earth orbit (MEO) connectivity for government and defence users.

The milestone follows the certification of ALL.SPACE’s first-generation terminal capability on O3b mPOWER earlier this year, which marked the first ESA-certified antenna capability for use on the network, and established simultaneous, full-duplex connectivity across GEO and MEO orbits from a single terminal.

Hydra MAX builds on that foundation, bringing second-generation terminal performance to the same multi-orbit network, providing users with a further option for assured multi-orbit connectivity capability across multiple orbital regimes.

Designed to meet the operational requirements of defence and government customers in contested and dynamic environments, Hydra MAX uses electronically steered beam technology with no moving parts to support mission continuity for users on the move across land, maritime and mobile command applications, including joint and coalition operations where mission assurance is critical.

Multi-link terminal tech

The certification reflects the continued collaboration between ALL.SPACE and SES Space & Defense to deliver multi-orbit connectivity for defence missions, combining SES Space & Defense’s network infrastructure with ALL.SPACE’s multi-link terminal technology.

John-Paul Szczepanik, Chief Technology Officer, ALL.SPACE: “Hydra MAX certification on the SES O3b mPOWER network demonstrates the full operational capability of our second-generation multi-link terminal. By combining advanced beam steering, multi-network interoperability and proven performance in dynamic environments, Hydra MAX gives our customers a robust, mission-ready solution for assured connectivity wherever and whenever it’s needed.”

“Adding the advanced capabilities of ALL.SPACE’s second-generation Hydra MAX terminal to the performance and flexibility of O3b mPOWER enables mission-critical operations to benefit from assured, multi-orbit connectivity in the most challenging operational environments.”
