Intellian's New ESA For OneWeb LEO Satellites

Intellian Technologies Inc., a global provider of resilient multi-constellation, feature-rich satellite user terminals and communications solutions, unveils their latest Electronically Scanned Array (ESA) technology at Satellite 2023, in Washington, D.C.

Intellian’s flat panel user terminal portfolio includes solutions designed to operate across the fixed enterprise, land mobility, maritime, government, and defense sectors. The full-duplex ESA user terminal will operate on the OneWeb satellite network, with production slated to commence in Q3 2023.

OneWeb LEO satellites

OneWeb LEO satellites require satellite hand-overs approximately every two to three minutes

Flat panels are ideally suited for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) networks. The OneWeb LEO satellites require satellite hand-overs approximately every two to three minutes, depending on the user terminal’s geographical location.

As such, Intellian’s flat panel is designed to electronically scan over a wide field of view within hundreds of microseconds for seamless handovers.

Intellian’s ESA product design

Intellian’s ESA product design focus has been on optimization of size, weight, power, and cost so they can provide seamless connectivity for remote communities and minimal infrastructure through to cellular backhaul solutions and installations on critical first responder vehicles.

The full-duplex user terminal, OW11FL, features a low-profile weatherized antenna designed to deliver high reliability and performance to Enterprise customers. Paired with the CNX-WiFi indoor unit, the OW11FL delivers the ideal solution for enterprise, community broadband, and civil government applications.

Innovative modular ESA user terminal
