About
The Groundcom VHF/UHF Ground Station is manufactured with precision and to standards that meet professional requirements. It is ready to use and proven in Groundcom’s shared ground station network. A UHF-only version of this station is also available. Engineered for Nanosatellite Operators, this solution provides a fully autonomous, software-defined gateway with VHF/UHF configurations, automatic TLE-based tracking, and specialized polarization switching for high-performance satellite communication. The system features an integrated modem supporting multiple modulation schemes and provides either processed data or raw IQ data output for flexible mission integration. Groundcom stations support a wide range of standard modulations including GMSK, AFSK, QPSK, BPSK, and FSK, and industry-standard protocols like AX25 and AX100. The stations feature fully autonomous tracking based on public or custom TLEs, achieving a tracking accuracy of <1 degree with high-speed movement capability and a wide range of motion (-90° to +450° Azimuth; 0° to 180° Elevation).
