Intellian has expanded its portfolio to include advanced Ka-band active electronically scanning arrays (AESA) technology.
Telesat and Intellian have signed a contract for the development and production of Ka-band flat panel User Terminals designed for the Telesat Lightspeed Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite network. These terminals will provide high-speed connectivity across various sectors, including enterprise applications, wireless backhaul, government, land mobility and maritime communications.
Intellian, known for its reliability and advanced satellite technology, is leveraging its expertise in Active Electronically Scanned Arrays (AESA) to design next-generation Ka-band flat panel terminals. These lightweight, energy-efficient terminals will be manufactured at Intellians cutting-edge facility, ensuring seamless integration with the Telesat Lightspeed network.
Edward Joannides, VP of Strategy & Business Development for Intellian, said: “Were thrilled to partner with Telesat to develop flat panel antennas for the Telesat Lightspeed network, enabling reliable, high performing satellite connectivity for their customers across land, mobile, maritime, and government markets. This new AESA collaboration follows previously announced contract awards for parabolic reference terminals and the Gateway Antenna System programme.”
Aneesh Dalvi, Vice President of Telesat Lightspeed Systems Development, added: “Our expanded collaboration with Intellian demonstrates our confidence in their ability to deliver cutting-edge technology that meets the mission-critical requirements that our customers trust Telesat to deliver. Were committed to offering flexible solutions and the Intellian AESA will be an attractive option, enabling customers to connect to our global network with ease and confidence.”
This agreement strengthens the partnership between Telesat and Intellian, following previous collaborations on parabolic reference terminals and the Gateway Antenna System programme. The new AESA flat panel technology is set to enhance global connectivity, reinforcing both companies commitment to advancing satellite communications.
