ALL.SPACE has completed a successful demonstration of its Hydra MAX, an independent terminal delivering ultra wideband communications to multiple satellites simultaneously.
Hydra MAX enables simultaneous connections (full duplex, i.e. both transmit and receive on each beam), unlocking resilient connectivity across all orbits, including advanced LEO Ka-band networks, even in the most demanding operational environments. With military-grade ruggedness and full integration of modems, tactical comms, and edge computing, it marks a significant leap in the capabilities of mobile communications systems.
Unlike other systems that can only switch between multiple orbits, Hydra MAX is full-duplex, capable of sending and receiving data on both beams at the same time, across the full scan range, unlocking the ability to hold connections to two or more independent networks simultaneously. This technical advancement positions ALL.SPACE among the few providers offering this level of capability and performance in a rugged, mobile form factor.
Hydra MAX connects seamlessly across LEO, MEO, HEO, and GEO satellites, including WGS; SES’s O3b mPOWER; Viasat 3 & GX; and emerging Ka-band constellations such as Amazon Kuiper and Telesat Lightspeed. With advanced digital beamforming technology enabling mono-pulse tracking at over 400 Hz, it maintains high-integrity links even under intense motion profiles, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity for mission-critical operations on the move.
Engineered for the world’s most demanding use cases, Hydra MAX also supports defense-grade, frequency-hopping sovereign waveforms over Military Ka-band frequencies, offering strong resilience against electronic warfare and jamming threats. With four field-swappable bays for integrated modems, tactical radios, or edge compute, and full MIL-STD 810 certification, it is proven to perform across maritime and land platforms while maneuvering at speed over the roughest terrain.
John-Paul Szczepanik, CTO, ALL.SPACE, said, “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. 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.”
Building on this breakthrough, ALL.SPACE is now advancing its third-generation platform: Hydra KuKa, which extends its dual-beam, full-duplex, 500 MHz capability across both Ku- and Ka-bands simultaneously.
Following a successful proof-of-concept demonstration in September 2024 and a Preliminary Design Review (PDR) with a key customer in May 2025, Hydra KuKa is progressing through final design, testing, and certification. This next-generation platform is designed to deliver advanced satcom interoperability across all major satellite networks.
