Eutelsat has launched the first military-grade manpack terminal for its OneWeb low Earth orbit network, developed with Intellian Technologies and now available to government and defence customers requiring portable and resilient connectivity.

 

The Intellian OW7MP is designed to enable secure access to Eutelsat’s global LEO network where conventional communications infrastructure is unavailable, degraded or denied, supporting rapid deployment for front-line operations, emergency response, disaster relief and remote government missions.

The terminal fits into a standard military rucksack, features one-touch network acquisition and can operate in GPS-denied environments, meeting a key requirement for defence users in contested regions.

Eutelsat said the new device strengthens its government offering worldwide by expanding how high-speed, low-latency LEO connectivity can be delivered to mission-critical users across diverse and demanding environments.

 

 

Steve Mills, Vice President for Global Government at Eutelsat, said: “Governments need connectivity that deploys anywhere, instantly, without compromise. This new terminal expands our ability to serve defence and government partners with solutions tailored to their operational reality — whether that’s front-line communications, disaster response, or secure connectivity in remote locations. Our partnership with Intellian reflects our commitment to working with industry leaders to deliver the terminals government users need to access our network.”

Eric Sung, Chief Executive of Intellian Technologies, said: “The OW7MP Manpack addresses the rapidly evolving demands of defence users by providing an ultra-portable solution where connectivity and safety are no longer a trade-off. By integrating advanced features like Tx Mute and R-GNSS into a form factor that supports both COTM and COTP, we are delivering a mission-critical technology that allows the operator to focus on the objective, not the devices.”
