Samenwerking voor zeer snelle Ka-verbinding voor bedrijven, overheden en commerciële partijen

WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Phasor, ontwikkelaar van toonaangevende, elektronisch gestuurde antennesystemen, heeft een baanbrekende overeenkomst gesloten met LeoSat, een exploitant van een constellatie van satellieten in een lage baan om de aarde (low earth orbit, LEO). De twee partijen zijn overeengekomen verschillende markten voor kritieke netwerken te bedienen met een infrastructureel systeem voor zeer hoge throughput en lage latency.

Phasor ontwikkelt in het kader van de samenwerking een elektronisch gestuurd antennesysteem in Ka-band voor niet-geosynchrone satellieten, die zijn uit te breiden voor vrijwel iedere gebruikstoepassing. De antennetechnologie voor LEO biedt bedrijven, overheden en andere grote partijen toegang tot een netwerk dat anderhalf keer zo snel is als glasvezel op aarde. Dit wordt gecombineerd met hoge throughput, goede beveiliging en zeer lage latency.

LeoSat and Phasor Reach Strategic Agreement to Bring Game-Changing Connectivity to Mission Critical Enterprise Networks

Collaboration to provide high-speed, low-latency Ka connectivity-infrastructure to corporate, government and commercial markets

WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Phasor, the developer of leading, enterprise-grade electronically-steered antenna (ESA) systems, and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation operator LeoSat today announced a milestone strategic agreement to serve a broad range of mission-critical enterprise network markets with an ultra-high throughput, low latency network infrastructure solution.

As part of the collaborative alliance, Phasor will develop a powerful Ka-band, Non-Geosynchronous (NGSO) –ready version of its breakthrough low-profile ESA, scalable to virtually any use-case requirement. Phasor’s LEO-capable antenna technology will enable corporations, governments and other high-end users to access a network offering speeds about 1.5 times faster than terrestrial fiber in combination with high-throughput, ultra-security and very low latency.

LeoSat, which is launching a unique, laser-linked constellation of up to 108 low-earth-orbit (LEO) communications satellites, will provide gigabit-per-second connectivity speeds to solve essential communications challenges in mission-critical communications sectors such as multinational enterprise, financial, oil and gas, maritime, and government networks.

“This landmark agreement between LeoSat and Phasor opens the door to a whole new level of high- powered communications networks capable of unleashing unprecedented connectivity for enterprise network markets around the world,” explained David Helfgott, Phasor CEO. “Phasor’s electronically-steered antenna technology is incredibly versatile and scalable – a perfect match for LeoSat’s constellation in meeting diverse demands for big data and high-speed connectivity.”

“LeoSat is focused on providing game-changing connectivity in the business, government and mobility markets, and Phasor will play a central role in enabling us to accomplish our goal,” said Mark Rigolle, LeoSat CEO. “This strategic agreement with Phasor represents an important step in the delivery of LeoSat’s unique business backbone in space, which gives our customers access to a resilient and future-proof network to deliver unprecedented connectivity and new services.”

Phasor’s very low profile, electronically steerable antenna (ESA) enables the reliable, robust delivery of high-bandwidth services. The antenna is solid-state, with no moving parts, allowing satellite signals to be tracked electronically. The ESA can be flat or conformal in design and can be fitted seamlessly to moving vehicles, enabling a number of applications for maritime and mobility markets. The same technology is very well suited to support traditional fixed satellite networks, High Throughput Satellites, and Non-Geosynchronous satellite networks. Phasor’s modular antenna architecture allows the system to be scaled to virtually any use-case requirement, fixed or mobile. ENDS

About LeoSat Enterprises

LeoSat Enterprises was established to leverage the latest developments in satellite communications technologies to develop and launch a new low-earth-orbit satellite constellation, which will provide the first commercially available, business-grade, extremely high-speed and secure data service worldwide.

With up to 108 low-earth-orbit communications satellites in the constellation, LeoSat is the first company to have all the High Throughput Satellites (HTS) in the constellation interconnected through laser links, creating an optical backbone in space that is about 1.5 times faster than terrestrial fiber backbones and without the need for any terrestrial touchpoints. This unique set of features enables LeoSat to provide instant, fast, secure and reliable infrastructure from anywhere to everywhere.

Based in Washington, DC, LeoSat is currently working with Thales Alenia Space for the low-earth-orbit constellation of Ka-band communications satellites. Once operational, the constellation will provide high-speed, low-latency and highly secure communications and bandwidth for business operations in the telecom backhaul, energy, maritime, government and international business markets. Launch of the constellation is expected in 2019. For more information, visit www.leosat.com.
