The MOU will establish a partnership between Global Invacom and Satwave Arrays, where both parties will integrate their technology to produce the next-generation terminal. According to Global Invacom, the resulting antenna will be “compact, lightweight, and designed to withstand being in constant motion”. “It will also be ruggedized to meet the demands of defence and commercial applications where reliability and performance must be maintained even in the most challenging conditions.”
“Satellite users today, particularly in the defence sector but also in certain commercial applications, need the flexibility, resilience and security of being able to switch between orbits,” says Bob Potter, chief technical officer at Global Invacom.
“While FPAs already on the market have enabled switching between LEO and MEO, moving from LEO to GEO without loss of signal strength has remained a challenge,” he adds. The new FPA is said to be able to solve that issue, he continues.
“At Satwave Arrays, we’re committed to designing flat panel phased array satellite antennas that are built for performance and reliability, and engineered for to maintain robust connectivity under dynamic movement and challenging terrains,” says Jimmy Strates, chief technical officer at Satwave Arrays.
