• Hydra MAX unlocks next-generation wideband Ka networks while maintaining simultaneous multi-orbit connectivity on the move, delivering 500 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth per Ka beam
  • Tested with government customers, Hydra MAX provides network-agnostic interoperability across leading commercial and government Ka-band networks, along with sovereign modem flexibility and optional DIFI-over-fiber connectivity
  • The launch follows York Space Systems’ (NYSE: YSS) acquisition of ALL​.SPACE and ALL​.SPACE’s formal redomiciliation to the United States, including the establishment of the company’s U.S. Technical and Manufacturing Hub in Florence-Muscle Shoals, Alabama

Muscle Shoals, Alabama/Reading, UK: ALL​.SPACE, a leader in resilient, multi-network satellite communications-on-the-move, today announced that its next-generation wideband, multi-orbit SATCOM terminal platform, Hydra MAX, is now available to the market.

Extending the proven Hydra family, Hydra MAX supports wideband Ka networks with 500 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth per Ka beam while maintaining the platform’s simultaneous multi-orbit, on-the-move connectivity.

Hydra MAX integrates wideband Ka-band performance, intelligent multi-link orchestration, sovereign modem flexibility, and advanced network interoperability into a single ruggedized terminal platform. Designed for users operating in contested, degraded, and communications-denied environments, the platform provides access to high-capacity Ka-band LEO constellations while remaining compatible with modern MEO, GEO, and HEO networks.

Hydra MAX is designed for true multi-link operation, maintaining multiple live satellite connections simultaneously. This allows operators to reduce dependence on any single satellite network, orbit, band, waveform, or service provider.

Tested with government customers, Hydra MAX is certified to operate on SES O3b mPOWER and is advancing certification across a broader range of commercial and government Ka-band networks, including WGS, Viasat’s global integrated Ka-band network, Amazon Leo, and Telesat Lightspeed. This provides a clear path to resilient multi-network access across high-capacity GEO and MEO systems and supports emerging LEO constellations as they become operational.

This network-agnostic architecture enables operators to select the best satellite service for their mission, geography, threat environment, performance requirements, or contract structure, while supporting hybrid MILSATCOM and COMSATCOM architectures aligned with modern defense, coalition, and critical infrastructure needs.

The platform also supports advanced modem and waveform architectures, including sovereign modem integration and Protected Tactical Waveform-ready configurations. For users requiring distributed modem placement, separate network architectures, or flexible system integration, Hydra MAX can be configured with an optional DIFI-over-fiber interface, enabling digital IF transport over fiber between the terminal and external modem infrastructure.

The launch marks ALL​.SPACE’s first major product milestone since York Space Systems’ acquisition of ALL​.SPACE. Together, York and ALL​.SPACE are positioned to deliver a more comprehensive space-to-ground architecture by combining York’s expertise in spacecraft, constellation, and mission systems with ALL​.SPACE’s advanced terminal and multi-network connectivity solutions.

ALL​.SPACE’s recent redomiciliation to the United States further strengthens that position. With a new U.S. Technical and Manufacturing Hub in Florence-Muscle Shoals, Alabama, ALL​.SPACE is moving closer to its primary U.S. defense customers, suppliers, and partners while expanding its ability to manufacture, support, and deliver mission-ready, resilient communications capabilities at pace and at scale.

Paul McCarter, CEO of ALL​.SPACE, said: “Hydra MAX is the next step in our mission to reduce reliance on any single network, orbit, band, or waveform. Our first-generation Hydra terminals proved the operational value of simultaneous multi-link communications. Hydra MAX now delivers the bandwidth, flexibility, and resilience required for the next generation of contested operations, from wideband Ka access and sovereign modem integration to PTW-ready architectures and assured communications from a single terminal platform.”

McCarter added: “As part of York Space Systems and with our expanding U.S. footprint, ALL​.SPACE is now positioned to scale faster, manufacture closer to our customers, and deliver integrated space-to-ground communications capabilities to the missions that need them most.”

The launch also underscores the strategic value of ALL​.SPACE’s integration with York Space Systems, which brings advanced terminal innovation to a broader space-to-ground mission.

Michael Lajczok, CTO of York, said: “The launch of Hydra MAX marks an important milestone for the combined York and ALL​.SPACE team. Together, we are building a more complete space-to-ground communications architecture that integrates advanced spacecraft and constellation capabilities with intelligent, software-defined terminals at the edge. Hydra MAX exemplifies how that integrated approach can deliver resilient, multi-network connectivity for customers operating in increasingly contested environments.”

Hydra MAX is now commercially available to qualified government and defense customers.
