Telesat reported a successful antenna technology demonstration with Farcast, validating electronically steered antenna architecture that lowers size, weight, power, cost.
Over-the-air test used Telesat’s LEO 3 satellite, sustaining end-to-end connectivity with performance close to predicted link budgets.
Milestone cleared the next phase: development of a fully integrated Lightspeed user terminal combining Farcast’s antenna platform with the Lightspeed modem.
