About
The Orbit Communication Systems’ OrBeam 5534 Electronically Steerable Antenna (ESA) is a cutting-edge solution for high-speed, reliable communication across multiple platforms and orbits. Available in both Ka-Band and Ku-Band configurations, this ESA is engineered to seamlessly connect with Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, ensuring continuous connectivity. Its multi-platform integration makes it ideal for use on aircraft, maritime vessels, and land vehicles, offering versatile connectivity solutions for diverse applications.
A key feature of the OrBeam 5534 Ka-Band variant is its reduced power consumption, achieved through Orbit’s patent-pending architecture that utilizes fewer elements while maintaining state-of-the-art performance. This reduction in power consumption significantly lowers operational and installation costs. Both Ka-Band and Ku-Band versions boast high performance, achieving exceptional G/T (Gain-to-noise temperature ratio) and EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power) values, which are critical for robust and high-speed data transmission.
The ESA is fully electronically steered, meaning it has no moving parts. This design choice enhances reliability and reduces maintenance requirements, making it a robust solution for demanding environments. Its modular design allows for scalable solutions that can be tailored to specific customer needs, optimizing both performance and cost-efficiency. The Ka-Band version further supports multi-beam operation, enabling two simultaneous beams on the Rx path for ‘Make-Before-Break’ operations, ensuring uninterrupted communication during satellite handovers.
