Harris’s fixed-site terminals and hardened transportable terminals provide dual X and Ka-band access to the new Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) network as well as legacy satellite constellations.

The WGS satellites are based on the Boeing 702HP platform and designed to support simultaneous X and Ka band communications, allowing soldier to communicate across terminal types.

Harris electronic systems president Ed Zoiss said: "MET’s state-of-the-art multiband terminals will provide critical communications and situational awareness capabilities for US decision-makers and military personnel deployed worldwide.

"Harris has supported the warfighter with high-performance, cost-effective military satellite communications capabilities for decades, and we are committed to continue this support through the MET programme."
