Orbit Technology Group<\/strong> believes it is in a strong position to sell one of its latest satellite communications antenna solutions to train operators in Asia, after successful trials in Europe, Orbit CEO Avi Cohen told Offshore Communications E-daily<\/em>.
\n    \u201cWe are now able to reap the benefits of our decision to invest together with Tes of Italy in rail-specific solutions.  We have started with the European train market, and we are now starting to enter both the American and Asian markets. In Asia, we expect in the very near future to provide SatCom Internet connectivity systems installed onboard trains throughout the continent,\u201d said Cohen.
\n    Orbit\u2019s low-profile VSAT Ku-Band mobile stabilized antenna system was specially designed as a satellite tracking system for trains. Cohen said the system was designed to be resistant to vibration and thermal variations, enabling continuous Internet connectivity for high-speed trains traveling at speeds of over 300 km\/h. \u201cThe system provides uninterrupted connectivity enabled by the system\u2019s unique capability to reacquire a satellite signal almost immediately,\u201d he said. 
\n    The demand for communications solutions on-the-move is increasing. The maritime market represents one of the fastest growing segments of the Orbit\u2019s business. \u201cThe maritime satellite communications market has been developing faster than air and ground segments because of the significantly longer trip durations in oceanic environments,\u201d said Cohen.
\n    Correspondingly, the need for constant communications at sea has been growing steadily and even though the market segment is already quite large in size, Cohen believes it still has plenty of room to grow. \u201cNot only are connectivity expectations growing rapidly, but we are noticing significant, unmet market needs. At Orbit, we see this as a great opportunity,\u201d he said.
\n    Orbit is also evaluating the market demand for smaller vessels with a new line of products of sub 1-meter antenna solutions. It is also looking to capture the energy that compact solutions are maintaining in the sector. Diversity in its portfolio of maritime applications is important to Orbit as the sector amounts to over 50 percent of its sales volume. One of the company\u2019s flagship products is OrSat-G, a solution for high performance, high-speed two-way broadband communications at sea. Cohen said he has been pleased with the performance of Orsat-G so far.
\n    \u201cOrSat-G\u2019s global sales are quickly increasing as the new antenna\u2019s performance parameters were a direct response to marketplace expectations. To date, Orbit has sold thousands of systems for maritime platforms including over 700 OrSat antennas. We have been experiencing steady growth in our sales for some time, and the OrSat-G continues this trend,\u201d he said.
\n    Despite the economic downturn, the company expects to perform strongly during the rest of the year. \u201cThe coming year should see an even greater leap in technology as well, leading to smaller, yet more powerful systems, installed on a greater variety of platforms. We intend to continue offering the most advanced solutions to ensure constant connectivity at sea, on rail and in the air,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
