Hydra MAX is the first network-independent terminal to simultaneously connect to multiple satellites with full-duplex capability—transmitting and receiving on both beams at once. This enables resilient connectivity across all orbits, including next-generation Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Ka-band networks, even under demanding conditions.
Unlike other terminals that only switch between orbits, Hydra MAX can hold active links to two or more networks at the same time. ALL.SPACE highlights this breakthrough as a unique capability, offering full-duplex performance across the full scan range in a rugged, compact 86cm form factor.
The terminal is designed for seamless connectivity across LEO, MEO, HEO, and GEO satellites, including WGS, SES’s O3b mPOWER, Viasat 3, GX, and future Ka-band constellations like Amazon Kuiper and Telesat Lightspeed. Its advanced digital beamforming supports mono-pulse tracking at over 400Hz, ensuring reliable communication during rapid motion and complex manoeuvres.
Engineered for military-grade use, Hydra MAX supports defence-grade, frequency-hopping waveforms over Military Ka-band, providing enhanced protection against electronic warfare and jamming. It features four field-swappable bays for integrated modems, tactical radios, or edge computing, and holds full MIL-STD 810 certification for operation on maritime and land platforms in the harshest environments.
John-Paul Szczepanik, Chief Technology Officer at ALL.SPACE, stated: “Hydra MAX is not just a product milestone – it’s a signal to the market that ALL.SPACE is redefining what’s possible in mobile communication. Simultaneous multi-beam, full-duplex, wideband connectivity – while moving, while under threat, while connected to three different orbits if you want.”
Looking ahead, ALL.SPACE is building on this innovation with the development of Hydra KuKa, its third-generation platform. “Hydra KuKa will take this even further, continuing to place ALL.SPACE as the go-to for defence and commercial customers looking for performance, flexibility and resilience,” Szczepanik added.
Following a successful proof-of-concept in September 2024 and a Preliminary Design Review with a key customer in May 2025, Hydra KuKa has now entered its final design and certification phase. The platform aims to deliver dual-beam, full-duplex capability across both Ku- and Ka-bands simultaneously, setting a new standard for interoperability across all major satellite networks.
