Intellian to design and supply dual-parabolic reference user terminals for the Telesat Lightspeed network
08 März 2022 - 1:00PM
Telesat (NASDAQ and TSX: TSAT), one of the world’s largest and most
innovative satellite operators, and Intellian, a leading provider
of feature-rich, future-proof satellite communications solutions,
today announced a contract award for Intellian to design and supply
reference enterprise user terminals for the Telesat Lightspeed Low
Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite network.
Intellian’s innovative satellite terminal
technology leverages the company’s non-geostationary satellite
orbit (NGSO) modem integration expertise and satellite tracking
algorithms and will provide Telesat’s most demanding customers with
highly reliable, high throughput access to the Telesat Lightspeed
network. Telesat will use early deliveries of Intellian terminals
to support system development and performance testing, and during
the Telesat Lightspeed Alpha and Beta Test phases, to demonstrate
system capabilities to Telesat’s enterprise, telecom and government
customers, including the Government of Canada. Telesat and
Intellian are also discussing terminal development programs for
other market segments.
These high-performance user terminals feature
dual-parabolic antennas in a true make-before-break configuration
to achieve seamless handovers from one satellite to the next in the
LEO constellation. The parabolic reflectors are optimized to
provide the highest gain achievable with a 1m aperture, allowing
high data rates and excellent link margin performance for Telesat’s
end-user community. Long-term reliability and resilience, which are
hallmarks of all Intellian products, particularly in extreme hot
and cold environments, will enable worldwide deployment.
“As a proven terminal provider for Telesat’s Phase
1 LEO demonstrations and with their extensive experience in
deploying tracking antennas for NGSO networks, Intellian is the
right partner to enable customer access to the Telesat Lightspeed
network from anywhere in the world,” says Aneesh Dalvi, Telesat’s
Director of LEO Landing Stations and User Terminals. “Intellian’s
carrier-grade, dual-parabolic terminals will be an integral
component of Telesat’s low-latency, high-performance Telesat
Lightspeed ecosystem.”
“We’re very pleased to be a technological
cornerstone of such a significant venture,” adds Eric Sung,
Intellian CEO. “This contract is another resounding affirmation of
our position as a market leader, partnering to deliver unparalleled
value to customers across a diverse range of markets. Our proven
capabilities to design cutting-edge, high-performance and flexible
solutions synonymous with our products make us an ideal partner for
Telesat.”
