A stabilized maritime VSAT for work fleets: SMC reflector with cup feed in 0.6, 0.8 or 1.0 m apertures, four-axis stabilization and direct-drive positioning that hold the beam through swell, spray and hard turns.

Highlights
Direct drive axes remove gear trains — fewer wear items for ocean service.
Satellite-beacon tracking needs only one manual lat/lon entry at setup; the link holds through S-turns and heading changes.
Beam-to-beam swap in under 8 seconds keeps charter and coastal transitions seamless.
Applications
Merchant & work vessels · Offshore energy support · Fisheries and coast patrol · Ferry and yacht broadband
Mobile COTM Family — Vehicle and Maritime
| Model | Aperture | Re-acquisition | Installation | Differentiator |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vehicle COTM Terminal | 0.45 m flat horn | <30 s restart | Roof-mount pod, IP66 | ≤150 W draw, no vehicle upgrade |
| Conformal Terminal | Ku conformal | ≤1.5 s | Body-conformal fit | 4G + Wi-Fi fusion, CAN health bus |
| Maritime COTM | 0.6–1.0 m | Satellite swap <8 s | 4-axis stabilized mount | Force-worthiness for blue-water decks |

How to Choose in This Family
- Vehicle fleet. Roof-pod COTM retrofits any vehicle in hours; conformal integration is engineered per model but preserves profile and adds 1.5 s re-acquisition.
- Comms blending. The conformal unit fuses satellite with 4G base-station and Wi-Fi hotspot — one box for the whole vehicle network.
- Power budget. Both run from vehicle power; the pod stays ≤150 W so stock alternators cope.
Where this model sits: Maritime COTM is Force-worthiness for blue-water decks.

FAQ
Which aperture should I choose?
0.6 m at ≤45 kg suits patrol and workboats; 0.8/1.0 m buy more margin for ocean passages — we size it against your route and traffic.
Does it depend on GPS?
No — beacon tracking with a single initial position entry keeps pointing through GPS outages (manufacturer specification).
Ka or Ku at sea?
Both are offered; Ku remains the common workhorse for regional fleets, Ka for high-throughput services.
