The company is embarking on these trials in cooperation with its strategic partners and a number of prospective clients, hiSky said in its Thursday announcement.<\/p>\n<p>Like its Ka-band counterpart, Smartellite Ku- is equipped with a built-in modem and phased array antenna. Both Ku- and Ka- versions will be able to communicate with Geostationary (GEO) and Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites and connect to hiSky\u2019s Network Management System (NMS), hiSky360. The system will also come with future customization capabilities that, according to hiSky, will enable it to work with LEO constellations such as Starlink by <strong>SpaceX<\/strong> and <strong>Amazon<\/strong>\u2018s Kuiper.<\/p>\n<p>The hiSky Smartellite Dynamic Ku-band terminal is actually a follow-up of the company\u2019s Smartellite Ka-band version. The Ku-band model was designed specifically to receive low- and medium data-rate mobile services both onshore and offshore, and in territories where Ka-band frequencies are not available.<\/p>\n<p>The company said that the terminal will be sold to customers from a range of industries, including fisheries, fleet management, agriculture, and oil and gas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s important for us to be at the forefront of technological advancement, and to adapt our services to the demands of the current market,\u201d said hiSky CEO and Co-Founder Shahar Kravitz. \u201cThere\u2019s no doubt that the launch of this Ku terminal will bring added value to the company and strengthen our position in today\u2019s global satellite arena.
