Do you prefer having the flexibility to switch between multiple satellite networks for your internet connectivity?
Lite Coms has announced the GT3 vehicle terminal, a new hardware platform designed to maintain simultaneous connectivity across Starlink, OneWeb, 5G, and LTE networks. This multi-network device utilizes ruggedized commercial off-the-shelf components to provide persistent data links for tactical utility task vehicles and SUVs.
Why it matters
The terminal aims to eliminate network lock-in by allowing users to toggle between or aggregate multiple transport paths for improved operational resilience. It was developed to meet growing defense requirements for affordable and reliable communications in mobile environments.
The GT3 terminal supports simultaneous operation across two low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks alongside 5G and LTE, maintaining throughput by bridging commercial components. Current manufacturing capacity for the company's single-network antenna stands at 30 units per week.
The players
Lite Coms
A New York-based manufacturer of ruggedized VSAT and flat-panel antenna systems for defense and tactical applications.
The details
The device achieves connectivity by integrating multiple radio modules into a single ruggedized enclosure designed for vehicle-mounted deployment. It utilizes flat-panel antenna technology manufactured in New York to maintain signal acquisition while mobile. This platform allows for simultaneous data access across multiple transport layers, moving beyond traditional single-network reliance.

The Tech Race
The GT3 terminal marks a strategic shift away from the single-network satellite terminals that have historically dominated tactical vehicle communications. Lite Coms intends to maintain this competitive edge by expanding its hardware support for emerging LEO networks.
This terminal is designed for integration into tactical utility task vehicles, SUVs, and command vehicles. The system is currently in its announcement phase, with hardware availability and future rollout timelines for non-military or commercial operators not yet specified.
The takeaway
The GT3 terminal indicates a move toward hardware-agnostic communication platforms that aggregate LEO and cellular bandwidth for high-availability needs. Interested observers should monitor the company's development of support for additional emerging LEO networks, which will determine the terminal's long-term utility.
