Milli Sling Blade is a Ka-band flat panel antenna, fully electronically steerable antenna (ESA antenna), providing reliable communication. The Milli Sling Blade Phased array antenna operates in the Ka-band with no moving parts. No calibration is required therefore providing long-term reliability and lower maintenance costs.
Supports transmit & receive for any GEO/MEO/LEO satellites, enabling Switches from GEO to LEO satellites in milliseconds and seamless satellite coverage anywhere, anytime.
Milli Sling Blade is ideal for all “on the move” such as Land & Maritime, Oil & Gas. It is also ideal for commercial applications, civil infrastructure, enterprise, trucks, and trains.
The ESA Family has options for both the KA and KU bands.
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 Management Unit
(AMU), 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
Viasat’s Global Xpress Military Ka-band, SES,
and Intelsat for near seamless satellite coverage worldwide, 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.
