The new agreement enables both companies to expand their market reach and provides the DoD and NATO allies with easy access to a range of advanced satellite tracking systems provided by Cobham Satcom. This includes Cobham’s proven multi-orbit, multi-band terminals, bringing new levels of resilience by allowing operation across GEO, MEO and LEO constellations, as well as the newly introduced series of ruggedized Tactical TRACKER terminals for Comms on the Pause (CotP). UltiSat will serve as a preferred technology integration partner, providing equipment sales, installation, field services, lifecycle management and optional connectivity services for Cobham products.

Not only do they provide resilient and secure communication capabilities, but their products are designed with the end-users in mind. Thoughtful features and a common interface, make speed and ease of deployment true benefits for operators in the field. We are excited to welcome the Cobham Satcom family of terminals into the UltiSat solution portfolio.”
