Global Invacom Group launches rapid deploy XY antenna range for mission critical, multi orbit connectivity

Global Invacom Group Limited has launched a new range of rapid‑deploy XY antenna terminals, designed to deliver fast, reliable multi‑orbit and multi‑band connectivity in the most demanding operational environments.

Building on the success of its original XY antenna, the expanded range is now available in four sizes — 0.98m, 1.2m, 1.8m and 2.4m — enabling Global Invacom to better support the evolving requirements of government, defence, and commercial operator customers worldwide.

Designed for speed‑to‑service and operational simplicity, the rapid‑deploy XY antennas feature a highly modular, no‑tools assembly, allowing systems to be deployed, calibrated, and operational in under fifteen minutes. Lightweight construction, compact form factors, and precision mechanical design ensure reliable performance without backlash, making the terminals well‑suited to on‑the‑move and on‑the‑pause applications.

Each antenna integrates a single IP67‑rated mechanical housing with an internal cable raceway, ensuring repeatable accuracy and orthogonality across all pointing angles, even in harsh field conditions.

Operational ease is further enhanced through a stable quad‑pod pedestal with a built‑in Antenna Control Unit (ACU). This supports multiple operating modes including one‑button auto‑acquire, inclined‑orbit tracking, programmed tracking with closed‑loop signal optimisation, and automated calibration via advanced search algorithms. As a result, the terminals can be confidently operated by non‑specialist personnel in mission‑critical scenarios.

Bob Potter, Chief Technology Officer at Global Invacom Group, said: “In mission‑critical environments, speed and simplicity are essential. Our customers often operate in challenging conditions where satellite communications equipment must be deployed and used by any member of a team. This new XY range has been engineered to remove complexity, enabling reliable connectivity within minutes, without specialist training.”

Designed for commercial, government, and defence applications, every terminal in the range is ITAR‑exempt, WGS‑compatible, and supplied in IATA‑compliant packaging, supporting global deployment without regulatory or logistical constraints.
