Global Skyware, part of the Global Invacom Group, has launched its government band, multi-orbit XRJ transceiver.
 
Optimised for the demanding government and defence market, the XRJ transceiver covers the full extended Ka-Band frequency range in both receive and transmit. It boasts 25 W of power, (and also comes in 5 W, 10 W and 20 W variants), the highest of any transceiver on the market and supports connectivity in geostationary Earth orbit, medium Earth orbit and low Earth orbit, enabling consistent communications for any application on land, sea or air.
 
Fully Mil-STD 164C compliant (World Geodetic System, GovSat, Skynet and Inmarsat GX), the XRJ is also exempted from International Traffic in Arms Regulations and covers full commercial and MilGov Ka-Band with up to four sub bands and four different power levels available. It integrates a block up-converter (BUC), low-noise block down-converter and transmit reject filter and polarizer/orthomode transducer to handle both transmit and receive of satellite signals.
 
The XRJ is highly suitable for the rigorous defence environment with its ruggedised IP-67 sealed enclosure, land and marine regulatory compliance, and is ideal for high throughput optimisation. Supporting the latest L/S-Band modem intermediate frequency technologies with 10 MHz reference compatibility, the XRJ is optimised for the high throughput of modern MilGov operations.
 
Fully Open BUC Modem Interface Protocol compliant, the XRJ also features remote configuration over a web-based graphical user interface. Optional electro-mechanical polarity switching and optional co-pol operation are also available.
 
Gordon Blaikie, CEO at Global Invacom Group commented, “The government band XRJ represents a significant development in satcom capabilities for this community of mission critical users. This will ensure consistent, reliable performance across government satcom networks and will ensure that they are fully equipped for future technological developments.”
 
The Global Invacom team will be at the Defence & Security Equipment International (DSEI) exhibition from 9 to 12 September 2025. Find out more about the XRJ Transceiver and get in touch to set up a meeting at DSEI.
