Telesat, Farcast complete antenna technology demonstration for Lightspeed user terminal development
TSAT•Antenna technology demonstration completed
Telesat partnered with Farcast to demonstrate electronically steered antenna technology for the planned Telesat Lightspeed LEO broadband network.
The collaboration completed an over-the-air test using Telesat’s LEO 3 satellite, maintaining end-to-end connectivity with performance near predicted link budgets.
Next phase focuses on user terminal development
The milestone supports the next phase: development of a fully integrated Lightspeed user terminal combining Farcast’s antenna platform with the Lightspeed modem.
