- Intelsat recently invested in Paris-based Greenerwave and signed a technology agreement to develop an innovative electronically-steerable antenna.
- Multiple orbits and multiple networks, Greenerwave’s Electronically Steered Array (ESA) terminal will add Intelsat custom features to deliver unmatched reliability and performance for a differentiated connectivity experience for broadband, etc.
Intelsat, operator of one of the world’s largest integrated satellite and terrestrial networks and leading provider of in-flight connectivity (IFC), said on Monday that it will be the first operator in the world to offer multi-orbit solutions for all relevant business units by the first half of 2025 thanks to a new satellite terminal strategy that will deliver advanced capabilities and improved economics.
Intelsat CEO David Wajsgras said, “Intelsat is making strategic bets on new technologies, including new investments in innovative terminal providers. More and more customers will come to count on the broad reliability profile of multi-orbit solutions, and it is key to our future success. No single-orbit solution can match what Intelsat can offer when it comes to performance, resiliency and commercial flexibility.”
Wajsgras added, “Intelsat began the process of delivering operational multi-orbit terminals to the military and commercial airlines about two years ago. Today, our multi-orbit strategy is resonating with customers and validating our approach. Strategic investments with terminal providers allow us to work in partnership to bring these technologies to market faster while delivering a step change in the customer experience.”
According to the report, Intelsat recently invested in Paris-based Greenerwave and signed a technology agreement to develop an innovative electronically-steerable antenna that will be integrated into high-throughput, multi-orbit terminals for network and data applications as well.
Multiple orbits and multiple networks, Greenerwave’s Electronically Steered Array (ESA) terminal will add Intelsat custom features to deliver unmatched reliability and performance for a differentiated connectivity experience for broadband, mobility, media, and government customers worldwide, Intelsat said.
