Marconi's Orion family provides tactical mesh, point-to-point and point-to-multipoint transport. X650 has four RF ports configurable as two 2x2-MIMO channels or one 4x4-MIMO channel, while X610 offers a smaller single-channel 2x2-MIMO format. A Canadian government statement confirms a Polish Cyber Command ORION award exceeding C$10 million with deliveries expected from 2026 through 2030.
Technical detail
Core features
X650 four-port dual-channel 2x2 or single-channel 4x4 MIMO configuration
X610 single 2x2-MIMO channel with two RF ports for constrained platforms
Mesh, point-to-point and point-to-multipoint topologies with Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
X650 specified at greater than 200 Mbps per channel; waveform and configuration govern throughput
Polish Cyber Command award with Enamor International; scheduled deliveries are not confirmed deliveries
Orion's official UXV-ready and human-machine-teaming posture could provide resilient command, control and data transport for distributed autonomous patrol systems.
Orion's high-throughput mesh and backhaul functions could move time-sensitive sensor and command data among contested edge nodes when fixed infrastructure is unavailable.
Orion Tactical Radio Systems may help teams working on Enhancing the combat effectiveness of large land formations by contributing to autonomous and uncrewed systems, resilient communications and command, and land operations.
