Klein concluded, “I’m excited to announce that the company is now completing testing and finalizing the manufacturing of the first versions of our advanced, multi-orbit Ka-band Electronically Steered Antenna System (ESA). Employing a novel modular and scalable architecture, our new generation ESA is capable of operating over all satellite constellations-GEO, MEO and LEO- with the first versions being of 1K (1024) and 4K (4096) IC elements. This configuration versatility opens the way to expand addressable markets for high-speed mobility connectivity by satellite across a wide range of applications-from vehicles, to ships, to aircraft, including drones for military and security/surveillance needs.”
