EM Solutions, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Electro Optic Systems Holdings (EOS:ASX), today completed shipment of its final Cobra terminal for the Royal Australian Navy’s (RAN) Anzac Class Frigates.
EM Solutions is honoured to have been awarded the Pacific 2019 SME Innovation Grant and to be Highly Commended in the Pacific 2019 National Innovation Award.
Both awards are associated with the Cobra X/Ka Tri-Band Maritime Satellite Communications Terminal which has recently been deployed on numerous vessel platforms by the Royal Australian Navy. The Cobra terminal was developed by EM Solutions in collaboration with the Australian Department of Defence and provides enhanced capability through its ability to operate on both military and commercial satellite systems and use of proprietary satellite tracking technology that ensures robust operation in the harshest of conditions.
EM Solutions Cobra M2 Maritime Satcom Terminal has successfully completed the WGS testing and certification process and been notified by the certification authority that the terminals are now able to operate at Ka-Band on the WGS Satellite Network. The testing phases of the certification process were completed by the Australian Certification Authority within the Satcom Systems Program Office.
EM Solutions, the Brisbane, Australia-based technology developer of innovative microwave and on-the-move radio and satellite products, has been awarded a AUD$ 6.5M contract by global prime contractor Thales for the supply of satellite radio systems to support a major connectivity project.
EM Solutions’ ability to make timely modifications to their commercial off-the-shelf products to suit Thales’ specific customer requirements was a key factor in determining the contract award. In 2016 a framework agreement was signed between the two companies to streamline ordering, and in 2018, EM Solutions’ work was again recognised when they took out Thales Australia’s Supplier of the Year award for Export Achievement.

EM Solutions has recently been contracted by Raytheon Australia to supply its Cobra X/Ka tri-band Maritime Terminals and associated network infrastructure to the Royal Australian Navy as part of the SEA1654 program that will deliver two new supply vessels.
Less than 6 months after the first proto-type terminal underwent initial sea trials, EM Solutions has delivered and installed its Cobra X/Ka tri-band Maritime Terminals on two recently launched Australian Navy Cape Class Vessels that are now in service.
Following recent successful deployments of both its Taipan land mobile and Cobra maritime terminals, EM Solutions has recently received orders totaling over $6M from government and defence customers in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia for the Company’s satcom-on-the-move solutions.
Inmarsat (LSE: ISAT.L), the global mobile satellite operator, is providing its Global Xpress (GX) satellite service to the Australian Border Force. Eight maritime vessels have recently been fitted with new Cobra-class satellite communications terminals, designed, developed and manufactured by EM Solutions that enable governments to augment the capacity they have on government-owned satellites with commercial satellites.
EM Solutions announced today that it had won an initial order from a US Government Agency to develop and supply its 10 Gbps E-band backhaul radios for evaluation in ship to shore communications.
Announcing the contract, EM Solutions Managing Director and CEO Dr. Rowan Gilmore said “EM Solutions has been selected to showcase its leading edge radio technology for challenging applications to an important US customer. We will integrate the new 10Gbps E-band radios developed by our subsidiary EMClarity into the same steerable gimbal systems used in our comms-on-the-move (OTM) Cobra satellite terminals, enabling the new radio systems to be used for high speed data backhaul, even where either end is in motion”.
EM Solutions acknowledges the traditional owners and custodians of country on which we are meeting, the Turrbal and Jagera peoples, and acknowledges their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to their people, the cultures and the elders past, present and emerging.
