\"Lite<\/p>\n

Lite Coms, a premier provider of high-performance satellite communications solutions, announced that the LITE SAT 1.3A<\/strong> (1.3-meter) terminal has received official Type Approval for use on the Viasat Global Xpress (GX) network. The certification (Number: GXL130LCO-01<\/strong> ) validates the terminal’s performance within the Viasat GX Satellite Communications System, ensuring high-speed, reliable connectivity for mission-critical applications.<\/p>\n

The Lite Sat 1.3A<\/strong> is also WGS certified for X and Ka bands under the Nomenclatures: AT\/TSC-248(V) and AN\/TSC-279(V)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Performance Beyond Compliance<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

In addition to meeting the rigorous standards for GX certification, Lite Coms is pushing the boundaries of throughput for small-aperture terminals. When paired with the company’s readily available High-Capacity Kit<\/strong>, the LITE SAT 1.3A can provide users with blazing-fast data rates of up to 300Mbps<\/strong> -on Viasat’s High-Capacity Ka-band network. This capability ensures that field teams can support bandwidth-intensive applications\u2014including high-definition ISR video feeds and complex cloud-based command and control\u2014without the footprint of a larger, stationary hub.<\/p>\n

Multi-Orbit Capabilities and PACE Strategy<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

The LITE SAT 1.3A is engineered for demanding multi-orbit mission requirements. With this GX Type Approval, the terminal is now a validated solution for dual-orbit operations<\/strong>, supporting access to both O3b mPOWER<\/strong> (MEO) and Viasat global Ka-band<\/strong>  (GEO) constellations. This interoperability allows defense and commercial operators to implement a comprehensive Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency (PACE) plan<\/strong> using a single, portable 1.3m hardware platform.<\/p>\n

Technical Performance and Spectral Integrity<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

Validation testing for the LITE SAT 1.3A ensured strict adherence to global interference standards. The terminal maintains high spectral purity, meeting ETSI 4.2.1<\/strong> requirements for off-axis spurious emissions. By minimizing spectral noise and ensuring clean carrier-on\/off transitions, Lite Coms provides users with a terminal that operates reliably in dense RF environments without causing interference to adjacent satellite users.<\/p>\n

Leadership Perspective<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

“Securing GX Type Approval for the LITE SAT 1.3A, combined with our 300Mbps High-Capacity capability, underscores our commitment to technical excellence,” said Bob Jacobson, President and CEO at Lite Coms. “At Lite Coms, your mission is our motivation<\/strong>. By enabling seamless transitions between orbits and providing industry-leading throughput, we provide the mission-critical connectivity our customers depend on.”<\/p>\n
