Intellian has won another contract for the Telesat Lightspeed low Earth orbit (LEO) constellation, this one to design and manufacture Ka-band flat panel user terminals.
Intellian had previously been awarded a contract in 2022 to design and supply dual-parabolic reference user terminals for the Phase 1 Telesat Lightspeed LEO demonstration.
This new contract will now deliver “fully optimized Ka-band LEO flat panels for the Telesat Lightspeed network.” The flat panels will be used “to deliver high-speed throughput for markets including fixed enterprise applications, wireless backhaul, government, land mobility and maritime connectivity.”
Last fall Intellian was also awarded a contract to develop and deliver 127 gateway antenna systems for the Telesat Lightspeed LEO constellation.
Aneesh Dalvi, Vice President of Telesat Lightspeed Systems Development said, “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. We’re 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.”
Edward Joannides, VP of Strategy & Business Development for Intellian added, “We’re 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.”
