Intellian, Eutelsat develop portable military-grade terminal for alternative PNT

Intellian Technologies Inc., a leading global provider of satellite communication antennas and ground gateway solutions, and Eutelsat, a GEO-LEO operator in satellite communications, have developed a portable, fully integrated military-grade Manpack for Eutelsat’s OneWeb low-Earth orbit (LEO) network.

With auto detected resilient GNSS (R-GNSS), the military-grade unit enables external support of an alternative positioning, navigation and timing (Alt-PNT) to ensure operation in GPS-denied environments.

Developed for defense and government, the unit provides the uninterrupted, dependable Eutelsat OneWeb LEO connectivity. It was created to address the urgent need for next-generation LEO capabilities within the broader military satellite communications domain.

Designed for rapid deployment, the Manpack is small and light to fit a standard military rucksack. It features one-touch network acquisition for immediate operation even in demanding and high-pressure conflict regions. It is optimized for low power consumption to maximize mission duration for up to five hours on external batteries depending on usage.

Built to battlefield-ready specifications, the Manpack is designed for Ingress Protection (IP67), as well as the U.S. Military Standards for Environmental Engineering (MIL-STD-810H) and Electromagnetic Compatibility (MIL-STD-461). This ensures exceptional durability for Communications-On-The-Pause (COTP) to personnel on front lines and mission-critical operations.
