\"BeetleSat<\/p>\n

BeetleSat<\/span>, formerly NSLComm, a leading provider of satellite communication technology and services, announced the successful deployment of its lightweight, very high data rate, expandable <\/span>antenna<\/span> in space. The in-orbit deployment of BeetleSat\u2019s 60 cm expandable antenna from a 6U CubeSat, an industry first marks a significant milestone in the development of the BeetleSat constellation and proves the viability of its proprietary technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

BeetleSat<\/span>\u2019s large <\/span>Ka-band<\/span> parabolic high-performance antenna, made of proprietary shape memory material, was folded at launch, allowing for low volume and mass. Once in <\/span>low-Earth orbit (LEO)<\/span>, BeetleSat performed a successful on-demand deployment.<\/span><\/p>\n

BeetleSat<\/span> is now well-positioned to offer a paradigm shift in satellite communications that will allow it to define new categories and offer new applications across industries. Customers including satellite operators, service providers, and any platform that requires low-latency, high-frequency throughput will be able to enjoy sustainable premium satellite communications at a fraction of the cost of other systems, resulting in very attractive prices for premium services.<\/span><\/p>\n

BeetleSat<\/span>\u2019s LEO constellation<\/span> will provide global and regional satellite operators, mobile network operators, and internet service providers high-quality global Ka-band connectivity for commercial and government applications, including point-to-point secure communications, mobility, and cellular backhaul\/trunking services. The company\u2019s focus on innovation and cutting-edge technology sets it apart from its competitors.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to have achieved this important milestone,\u201d said BeetleSat<\/span> Executive President Patricio Northland. \u201cThe successful deployment of the BeetleSat expandable antenna is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team and partners and we are proud to be at the forefront of satellite technology.”<\/span><\/p>\n

BeetleSat<\/span>\u2019s Nano-Satellite launched via the <\/span>SpaceX<\/span> Falcon 9<\/span> rocket on January 3, 2023. Now in Sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) at 550 km altitude, the Nano-Satellite will provide BeetleSat\u2019s public sector customer with store and forward, very high throughput satellite communication services.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a payload designed by BeetleSat, the fully-digital Nano-Satellite weighs approximately 9 kg and transmits data at up to 2 Gbps. Using innovative <\/span>Software-Defined Radio (SDR)<\/span> and a deployable antenna communication payload, it delivers a bit-rate performance level equal to a much larger satellite at a substantially lower capital expenditure.<\/span><\/p>\n
