Intelsat goes multi-orbit with OneWeb LEO option for airlines

11 August 2022 By Seth Miller Leave a Comment

A mockup of the planned Intelsat ESA for delivering multi-orbit connectivity on OneWeb's LEO constellation as well as GEO satellites

Commercial airlines will soon have another option for in-flight connectivity (IFC) delivered via low earth orbit (LEO) satellites. Intelsat secured a global distribution partnership with OneWeb, allowing for the development of a multi-orbit offering. The partnership builds on Intelsat’s extensive IFC experience and existing geo-stationary (GEO) satellite service, augmented with the OneWeb LEO constellation.

Eutelsat, OneWeb to merge in LEO/GEO push

26 July 2022 By Seth Miller Leave a Comment

The LEO/GEO blend for OneWeb and Eutelsat

The next generation of the OneWeb constellation is now funded. Eutelsat will divert its dividend payments for the next two years to help cover the cost of building and launching the expanded low earth orbit constellation as part of a merger deal between the two companies announced on Tuesday. v

Slowing their ESA roll

30 June 2022 By Seth Miller Leave a Comment

Electronically steered antennae (ESAs) are coming to commercial and business aviation. But not everyone is in a hurry to get there. Two companies with ESA products on their roadmap took a step back focusing on existing, proven technology platforms instead.

A sample of ESA elements that will eventually be assembled into systems flying on commercial aircraft.

More electronically steered antenna (ESAs) solutions will be flying later this year. At least two more companies are looking to launch test flights of the new technology with a focus on eventually serving commercial aircraft.

Bridging the transition: Anuvu details connectivity roadmap

17 February 2022 By Seth Miller Leave a Comment

What does a satellite connectivity company do with 10 gigabits/second of new capacity? “Deliver it to customers” was an easy answer for Anuvu’s EVP Connectivity Mike Pigott. But how that capacity gets allocated, and what it means for the company’s evolution of mobile connectivity is rather more complex.

OneWeb, GDC Technics partner on new ESA solution

30 November 2021 By Seth Miller 1 Comment

GDC's Tracy Trent and OneWeb's Ben Griffin with a model of the new antenna solution the companies hope to fly as early as next year

OneWeb and GDC Technics signed a Joint Development Agreement to deliver a new in-flight connectivity terminal. The new terminal, based on the electronically steered antenna technology developed by Ball Aerospace, will enable airlines to connect their aircraft, passengers, and crew over OneWeb’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communication network.
