Communications On The Move – End User Terminals
The convergence of innovative thin-profile satellite antennas and satellites in Non-Geostationary Orbit are unlocking the full potential of Communications On The Move by enabling high throughput data connections for vehicles across the land, sea, and air domains.
Advancements in flat panel antenna technology open up new capabilities for organisations to use Communications On The Move solutions to send and receive real time video and data, to moving vehicles no matter their location on the planet.
CONNECTIVITY REIMAGINED
The next generation of thin-profile satellite antennas with electronic beam forming technology enables simultaneous connectivity between satellites in GEO, MEO, and LEO. All this is now possible from a single satellite terminal by forming multiple beams, something previously only achievable with multiple dedicated antennas. The new generation of thin-profile satellite antennas combine the best that each orbit has to offer, mission critical high SLA features of satellites in Geostationary Orbit, with the low latency high throughput features of satellite MEO and LEO.
LOW-PROFILE, LOW MAINTENANCE, SIMPLE
Thin-profile satellite antennas leverage solid-state construction to ensure low maintenance and high availability for your fleet as it moves over land, sea and air. It’s as simple as that.
Kymeta is a US based company with the first commercially available electronically-steerable Ku Band antenna, the Kymeta U8. Kymeta’s software-defined architecture enables the U8 terminal to seamlessly switch between Geostationary and Low Earth Orbit constellations.
Kymeta’s U8 terminal can be integrated with multi-waveform openamip compatible modems, allowing the antenna to be integrated with existing satellite networks and ground infrastructure. Kymeta provides revolutionary mobile connectivity on satellite and hybrid satellite-cellular networks to customers around the world. Kymeta makes connecting easy – for any vehicle, vessel, or fixed platform.
ThinKom Solutions manufactures low-profile satellite broadband antennas engineered expressly for high-speed connectivity in the most harsh, remote and mobile environments. On a fuselage, in a backpack or mounted on a vehicle, ThinKom antennas enable satellite service providers to deliver reliable broadband to millions of users.
ThinKom’s patented VICTS phased-array technology combines the technical benefits of mechanically steered and electronically scanned arrays to deliver consistently high performance in the harshest environments. ThinKom’s antennas support X Band, Ku Band, and Ka Band, across the full suite of orbits (GEO, MEO, and LEO).
Intellian’s innovative antennas, with orbit-agnostic capabilities, enables switching between different satellite frequency bands and orbits on virtually any satellite network. This provides a tri-band, multi-orbit, high-speed network experience with the fastest and most reliable broadband connectivity.
By optimally combining multiple frequencies and orbits, Intellian’s antennas are able to form a network using hybrid orbits such as GEO/MEO/LEO only, MEO & GEO, or LEO only connectivity to suit your organisation;s communication needs.
Starwin is a Chinese manufacturer of portable flyaway style mechanically steered phased array satellite antennas. Starwin’s product range includes auto-point and manual point antennas operating in Ku Band. Starwin’s in-house manufacturing is compliant to the ISO9001-2000 management system ensuring the highest standards of quality control. Starwin is an Intelsat partner on their FlexMove platform further bolstering their reputation and product suite.
Starwin Ku Band antennas are built to comply with FCC Regulation 25.209, IESS and ITU-RS .580-5, and are accredited to operate on the Inmarsat, Asiasat, Intelsat, Apstar and Chinasat and Rascom satellite networks.
SatixFy’s innovative Digital Beam-Forming technology is the key to their Electronically Steered Multi-Beam Antenna Array product-line. Satixfy’s chip-up approach has enabled the company to build an ecosystem including multiple end user terminals and a Managed Communications Hub to operate multiple use terminals and efficiently distribute satellite resources.
Satixfy’s ecosystem approach allows the company to design antenna systems optimised for a variety of applications including the Connected Car, Internet of Things IoT, Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles, and litoral maritime. Satixfy’s antenna terminals support GEO, LEO, and MEO orbits, supporting multi-beam, MIMO architecture.
Isotropic Systems have developed a new kind of microwave refractive beamformer that allows exceptionally tight control over the propagation of radio waves. The approach is then combined with new developments in computational modeling, material science, and microwave electronics resulting in the development of Isotropic’s Ka Band Multi-beam Antenna.
Isotropic Systems is developing the world’s first multi-service, high-bandwidth, low power, fully integrated range of high throughput terminals designed to support the satellite industry to ‘reach beyond’ traditional markets.
