The Milli Sling Blade LW is a KA-band low-profile antenna, ensuring top-tier communication in all airborne applications. This fully electronically steered antenna operates without moving parts, eliminating the need for calibration. This ensures long-term reliability and significantly reduces maintenance costs. Designed to support transmit & receive functions for both GEO and MEO satellites. Its advanced design allows it to switch between these satellites, ensuring near seamless satellite coverage
anywhere, anytime.
The Milli Sling Blade LW is specifically tailored to meet the stringent demands of airborne applications. Its design and capabilities make it the optimal choice for aircrafts, ensuring seamless and reliable communication during operations.
A simple and intuitive solution that provides
multi-orbit SATCOM services, with the ability
to blend and transfer network traffic
seamlessly between high-capacity LEO (in KU
only), MEO (in Ka only), and GEO satellite
constellations
Integrated terminals include everything needed
for operation: modem, Antenna Control Unit
(ACU), tracking sensors, downconverter, and a full
RF front end.
Since there are no moving parts, calibration
is not required therefore providing
long-term reliability and lower maintenance
costs.
Extremely short transition time.
The significance of fiber-like connectivity
is a major step forward for high-data-rate
applications requiring communications
mobility.
Supports Global coverage networks, like
Intelsat in GEO, and other LEO networks, for near
seamless satellite coverage anywhere,
anytime.
The easy installation and integration of
the terminals, allows operators to
complete the process without the need
for time-consuming and costly visits of
technicians.
