Intellian Technologies Inc., a leading provider of satellite communications, has partnered with OneWeb to introduce a new range of Flat Panel user terminals compatible with OneWeb's low Earth orbit (LEO) network. This series is tailored to enhance connectivity across Land Fixed, Land Mobile, Maritime, and Government sectors, promising advanced performance in a compact and lightweight design.
Intellian's Flat Panel Series offers both Pro and Compact user terminals, crafted with the needs of diverse end-users in mind. This includes four terminal options available in both fixed enterprise and mobility configurations, ensuring high-performance connectivity in various environments, whether on land or at sea.
Leveraging active electronically scanned array (AESA) technology, combined with proprietary antenna element designs and AI-driven beam shaping and forming algorithms, these terminals redefine industry standards. Intellian's design supports the rapid and reliable beam and satellite transitions required by OneWeb, even in low elevation settings encountered in mobile markets.
The Flat Panel Series is ideal for commercial, private, and government applications, including critical connectivity tasks. These terminals ensure uninterrupted access to OneWeb's network at Committed Information Rates, maintaining performance even under challenging conditions such as severe platform motion.
The first product, the OW11FL Pro terminal, designed for fixed enterprise purposes like business continuity and community broadband, will debut in early 2024. The OW11FM, another Pro model geared towards mobility sectors such as shipping and transportation, will follow shortly. By mid-2024, the OW9HM Compact terminal will cater to users in blue light services and leisure vessels, succeeded by the OW10HL for stationary enterprise needs like cellular backhaul and military applications. These releases mark the foundation for future OneWeb solutions customisation.
Eric Sung, President and CEO of Intellian Technologies Inc., emphasized the significance of advancing into flat panel technology as it extends technological boundaries and redefines industry potentials. Massimiliano Ladovaz, OneWeb's CTO, expressed enthusiasm for the continued partnership with Intellian, highlighting the Flat Panel Series' capability to serve various markets through the combination of Intellian’s pioneering terminal technology and OneWeb's fast, reliable network.
Intellian Technologies Inc., a global provider of resilient multi-constellation, feature-rich satellite user terminals and communications solutions, and OneWeb, the low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communications company, have announced a new product portfolio of Intellian Flat Panel user terminals for use on OneWeb’s network.
Flat Panel Series
Intellian’s Flat Panel Series is a suite of both Pro and Compact user terminals that deliver exceptional performance in sleek, small-footprint, and lightweight form factors.
Designed for Land Fixed, Land Mobile, Maritime, and Government markets, they’re a game-changer for customers globally requiring low profile, easy installation, and high performance.
Pro and Compact Flat Panels
These Flat Panel terminals are meticulously designed to meet the unique demands of end users
Through the Pro and Compact Flat Panels, customers have a choice of four different user terminals to address their specific market needs and use cases. Both the Pro and Compact models come in two versatile configurations: a fixed enterprise terminal and a mobility terminal.
These Flat Panel terminals are meticulously designed to meet the unique demands of end users, ensuring reliable connectivity everywhere in the world, on land and at sea.
Reliable and accurate beam
Based on active electronically scanned array (AESA) technology, coupled with proprietary antenna element design, custom vector-amplifier phased array chipset, and proprietary artificial intelligence software algorithms of beam forming and beam shaping, Intellian’s Flat Panel Series is redefining the flat panel product class across the industry.
To support the frequent beam and satellite handovers required for OneWeb, Intellian’s flat panel architecture allows for highly reliable and accurate beam pointing with optimised tracking, and ultra-fast, sub-milli-second satellite handovers, even at low elevation look angles as encountered in mobility markets.
Critical applications
For commercial, private, and government customers requiring fixed, land mobility, or maritime installations, Intellian’s Flat Panel Series is ideal for all levels of connectivity needs including critical applications.
The terminals enable connectivity to OneWeb’s network at OneWeb’s Committed Information Rates, even with severe platform motion.
Compact user terminals
Intellian's global leadership in the maritime communications industry makes the Flat Panel Series, Pro, and Compact user terminals for mobility highly anticipated additions to the OneWeb roadmap by customers looking for reliability and excellence in such challenging environments.
Eric Sung, President and CEO at Intellian Technologies Inc., said, "Our evolution into flat panel user terminals has been an exceptionally exciting and intense development, that has not only stretched the boundaries of our technological prowess but has also redefined the possibilities within the industry."
SWAP form factor
"With such a sleek, optimised SWAP form factor user terminal that doesn’t compromise on performance, our Flat Panel Series is unlike anything OneWeb’s customers have experienced to date. We’re proudly empowering their connectivity with these initial four flat panel user terminal series."
First to market in Q1 2024 is the OW11FL, the Pro terminal designed specifically for fixed enterprise needs with demanding performance requirements such as business continuity, community broadband, and government sectors.
OW11FM
OW9HM Compact terminal designed for mobility users including blue light services and leisure vessels
Shortly thereafter in 2024 Intellian will launch the OW11FM, another Pro terminal, this time tailored for mobility such as shipping, superyachts, transportation, and rail.
Maintaining this momentum into Q2 and Q3 2024 will be the launch of the OW9HM Compact terminal designed for mobility users including blue light services and leisure vessels, followed by the OW10HL version for fixed enterprise use such as cellular backhaul, NGOs, and military. Intellian anticipates these will be the foundation for further variants that will allow OneWeb to customise solutions and address other use cases in the future.
Dependable and flexible connectivity solutions
Massimiliano Ladovaz, CTO at OneWeb, said, "We are delighted to partner with Intellian once again to bring these AESA terminals to the market and add them to OneWeb’s comprehensive suite of terminal solutions."
"Intellian’s Flat Panel Series will cater to a range of diverse market segments and uses. By combining Intellian's pioneering technology with OneWeb's fast, reliable, low-latency network capabilities, we will continue to provide customers with dependable and flexible connectivity solutions that meet their needs worldwide.”
