Ball and Telesat are collaborating on the development of satellite communications terminals based on Ball\u2019s antenna technology.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the demonstration, Ball\u2019s electronically-steered antenna tracked and communicated with the Telesat LEO Phase 1 satellite and captured real-time video data, which showcased the low latency characteristics of the Telesat LEO system. Electronically-steered flat panel antennas enable non-stationary satellite tracking and support quick and seamless switching between satellites, which is necessary for large LEO constellations. In addition, electronically-steered antennas have enhanced reliability due to no moving parts, are easy to install and may be manufactured in volume at low cost.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor decades, Ball Aerospace has been developing and building electronically-steered flat panel antennas for military and government customers,\u201d said Ball Aerospace Vice President (VP) and General Manager of Tactical Solutions Rob Freedman. We\u2019re thrilled to work with Telesat to demonstrate this technology for their LEO satellite constellation and other commercial applications.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Telesat\u2019s LEO constellation orbit.
