SATCOM-as-a-Service
Ovzon's core commercial offering, delivering managed satellite broadband across five service tiers (Orion, Pegasus, Hero, Go and Plus) tailored to different performance and budget requirements. Each tier bundles airtime on Ovzon 3, a user terminal, gateway and terrestrial connectivity, and round-the-clock NOC support into a single subscription. Terminals can be hand-carried in a laptop bag or vehicle-mounted for on-the-move operations, with connectivity achieved in under 60 seconds.
Ovzon 3
Ovzon's proprietary geostationary communications satellite, launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral in January 2024 and operational from July 2024. It features five independently steerable high-power spot beams that redirect capacity anywhere within the coverage arc within minutes, and an on-board processor that maintains direct terminal-to-terminal links even if teleports are degraded or destroyed. The satellite also carries NSA-approved encrypted command systems and very-low signal-to-noise-ratio functionality for low-probability-of-intercept operation.
Ovzon Terminals
A family of rugged satellite terminals designed for portable and mobile use, spanning five models: the T6 (laptop-sized broadband terminal), T7 (ultra-compact and lightweight, optimised for the Orion service), T8 (on-the-move vehicle terminal), P20 (small ruggedised parabolic terminal for land, maritime and airborne platforms) and P30 (parabolic on-the-move terminal for larger platforms). All terminals are designed for rapid deployment and all-weather operation.
