Ka-band tail-mounted satellite communications antenna for in-flight Internet connectivity introduced by TECOM
The Ka-band VSAT space solution offers effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) in a small form factor to enable high data rates off the aircraft; two line replaceable units (LRUs), an antenna control unit (ACU), and 11.5-inch Ka band satellite tracking antenna assembly (STAA); multi-modem capability supporting different satellite and ground systems worldwide; and swappable Ku- or Ka-band antenna platforms.
The product is designed to be form and fit swappable with either Ka-band or Ku-band STAA. TECOM will introduce its new Ku-band VSAT tail mount SATCOM product and swappable STAA later this year.
