Ovzon Completes Additional Arctic Expeditions, Demonstrating Resilient SATCOM Performance
Ovzon has conducted three separate High North Expeditions during 2025 and 2026, progressively pushing the limits of the Ovzon 3 satellite and its mobile satellite terminals to nearly 1,300 km (800 miles) inside the Arctic Circle. This validates Ovzon’s performance as a strategic enabler for NATO forces operating in the High North.
Given the strategic importance of the Arctic to Nordics, Europe, USA, Canada and NATO, Ovzon has undertaken several testing scenarios to validate the performance of the Ovzon 3 satellite well inside the Arctic Circle, and beyond the ranges typically associated with geostationary satellites. During 2025 and 2026, Ovzon has conducted three separate expeditions, testing and demonstrating the performance of the Ovzon 3 satellite, and the Ovzon mobile satellite terminals: Ovzon T6 and Ovzon T7.
The tests and demonstrations conducted during the Arctic Expeditions validate the functionality and performance of Ovzon 3 and the company’s mobile satellite terminals at extreme northern latitudes in the Arctic environment on land and at sea.
"Each expedition has taken us further north and given us greater confidence in what Ovzon 3 can do in the Arctic. The results speak for themselves – reliable, high-speed connectivity at latitudes where most satellite systems simply cannot deliver. This is exactly what NATO forces operating in the High North need. We intend to keep pushing the boundaries," says Tom Hopkins, Chief Operating Officer at Ovzon.
"The Arctic matters – strategically, operationally, and for Ovzon as a company. What we have demonstrated across these three expeditions is not just that our technology works here, but that we are committed to the High North for the long term. We see significant demand from NATO nations for resilient communications in this region, and we are ready to deliver," says Per Norén, CEO of Ovzon.
