About
The Mobile Satcom Antennas leverage Thinkom’s patented VICTS (Variable Inclination Continuous Transverse Stub) technology, which combines the efficiency and performance advantages of both mechanically steered and electronically scanned arrays. This innovative approach aims to deliver the best of both worlds in terms of satellite communication. Key advantages of these antennas include compatibility with wide-beam and High Throughput Satellite (HTS) Ku-band services, ensuring versatile connectivity options. They boast high spectral efficiency, capable of achieving up to 2 bits/Hz, which allows for efficient use of bandwidth. The antennas are qualified for operation on Intelsat Flex networks, indicating their reliability and integration with established satellite infrastructure. Designed for mobility, they can be easily mounted on any vehicle roof rack, making them suitable for a variety of mobile applications. Furthermore, the antennas are network and modem agnostic, providing flexibility in system integration and operation.
