Comtech Telecommunications Corp.  announced today, that during its first quarter of fiscal 2022, it was awarded a follow-on order valued at US$ 1.2 million for its Ka-band Solid-State Power Amplifiers (SSPAs) that use state-of-the-art Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology for an In-Flight Connectivity (“IFC”) application. Comtech’s Falcon 50Ka GaN amplifiers feature a tri-band Block Upconverter (BUC) and are packaged in ARINC 791 compliant housings.

Rocket Lab acquires space hardware company Planetary Systems Corporation (“PSC”).  Crux CFO Advisors was the exclusive financial advisor in the transacation.

According toABI Research, the serviceable addressable market (SAM) for global satellite broadband over geostationary (GEO), medium earth orbit (MEO), and low earth orbit (LEO) satellites will stand at 330 million premises, equivalent to 1.3 billion household members in 2026.

New data from the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations specialized agency for information and communication technologies (ICTs), ​​​​showed that an estimated 37 per cent of the world's population – or 2.9 billion people – have still never used the Internet.

Technical paper and panel proposals are now being accepted for the Broadcast Engineering and Information Technology (BEIT) track of the NAB Show Conference, held at the 

Kacific Broadband Satellites has reduced the total price of satellite broadband for customers with the introduction of a new terminal kit consisting of a new, low power, high throughput ST Engineering iDirect MDM2010 IP Satellite modem, its paired iLNB 3210 transceiver, and the 1.2m VSAT antenna.

The Satellite Transponder Market was valued at US$ 17.01 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach US$ 23.19 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 5.3% over the forecast period 2021 - 2026 acording to new reserach from Research and Markets. Satellite transponders are minor chip size circuits that are integrated into satellites for the purpose of transmitting the uplink data or information to the downlink and vice-versa.

NSR’s newly released Big Data Analytics via Satellite, 5^th Edition (BDvS5) report sees EO and M2M/IoT Satcom Big Data applications driving Big Data market revenues to over US$ 22.1 Billion through next decade. As value chain evolution ramps up opportunity across the Big Data Market, nascent markets rapidly adapting to new standards propel Big Data adoption across multiple regions.

Kacific Broadband Satellites has introduced the first Ka-band Mobile Backhaul service for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and telecom operators in Southeast Asia and the Pacific. This will allow operators to extend their network’s range in remote and difficult areas and provide them with an effective way of easing congestion in high-demand urban environments.

Mobile Backhaul is part of Kacific’s FlexVNO solution set, which delivers dedicated wholesale Ka-band satellite bandwidth to telecom operators, who can then tailor it to meet their customers’ needs.
