ABOUT OUR MISSION

Active Phased Arrays

Maximum Versatility On-Orbit

Active phased arrays provide flexibility in scan range, beam shape, and power per beam, greatly reducing the business rinsk associated with satellite and constrllation deployments. Because the system is fully reconfigurable, you can respond on-orbit to changing markets.
This flexibility makes it possible to maximize service revenue by repurposing beams to serve markets with higher demands, leasing rates, or user density on as-needed basis.

Dynamic Frequency-to-Beam Allocation

Maximize data rates and spectral efficiency by dynamically assigning frequency-to-beam allocations.

On-Orbit
Reconfigurability

Dynamically adapt coverage areas and support future capability with a fully software-defined payload.

Flexible Beam Management

Divide RF power among beams, flexibility defining per-beam allocation to provide improved quality of service.

Mechanical Advantage

Compact, flat-panel form factor reduces integration time and complexity to install, mantain and service.

Thermal Management

Simplify the thermal management system by spreading heat over the full surface are of the array.

Beam-Steering and Beam-Hopping

Rapidly hop and steer beams to improve spectrum utilization and increase user capacity.

Mass Manufacturable

Affordable in quantities from one to thousands utilizing commercial PCB manufacturing techniques.

Multiple Independent Beams

Maximize capacity and frequency reuse with multiple independent beams.

Jam Resistant

Apply pattern nulls to cancel interfering signals, improving signal-to-noise ratio.
