This significant purchase of the iNetVu® MP-100-MOT marks the second largest order the company has received for this specific system since its introduction in 2019. The 3-axis, fully motorized one-case backpack (iNetVu® MP-Series) is a lightweight, fully automatic antenna system that can be assembled in minutes without any tools and is able to locate the desired satellite, in less than 30 seconds, with the simple press of a button. This particular Manpack order will be deployed for disaster management and cellular backhaul by a significant end-user.

"We are not surprised that the iNetVu® Manpack series of antennas is turning out to be a best-selling product for C-COM," said Leslie Klein, President and CEO of C-COM. "The rapid confirmation in the market for our latest technological development - a single case, carbon fibre, auto-pointing backpack system that can be carried and operated by one person - is validated by large orders like these," Klein continued. "The Company continues to innovate and modernize the mobile SATCOM business by offering the highest quality products coupled with the best customer support available in the market today," Klein added.
