Space42 and Cobham Satcom have completed the full portfolio of advanced terminals for the Thuraya-4 Next Generation Satellite (T4-NGS), delivering broadband-grade L-band connectivity for government, national security, maritime, and commercial users. The expanded terminal lineup enhances mobility, resilience, and mission performance across remote and contested environments.
The new terminals operate on the Thuraya-4 network, Space42’s next-generation mobile communications satellite that entered commercial service in November 2025. One of the largest and most advanced geostationary satellites in orbit, Thuraya-4 provides resilient coverage across more than 100 countries spanning the Middle East, Africa, and Europe.
Designed to meet diverse operational needs, Cobham Satcom’s Thuraya-4 terminal range supports broadband-grade L-band speeds exceeding 1 Mbps, even in harsh or infrastructure-limited conditions. All terminals are available in both military-certified variants, meeting MIL-810H and MIL-461 standards, and ruggedized commercial versions rated IP-68.
The portfolio includes both Comms-on-the-Pause and Comms-on-the-Move solutions. Backpack-based IP NEO terminals provide secure, high-throughput connectivity for military, humanitarian, and enterprise use, while mobile platforms such as Orion NEO, Voyager NEO, and Commander ensure continuous communications for maritime vessels and vehicles operating on the move.
Built on 3GPP LTE standards, the Thuraya-4 network introduces advanced beam management and enhanced interference resilience. Support for video, real-time data, and IoT applications, combined with default end-to-end AES-256 encryption, enables secure and reliable communications well beyond the reach of terrestrial networks.
The completion of the terminal portfolio reinforces Space42’s Non-Terrestrial Network strategy and positions Cobham Satcom as a key partner in delivering dependable L-band connectivity for defense, humanitarian, critical infrastructure, and commercial missions worldwide.
