Ka-Band Capacity

Ka-band is the next generation of satellite technology. It delivers high intensity spot beams, enabling faster speeds and more cost-effective end-user solutions. As Ku-band supplemented C-band in the ‘90s, Ka-band is the logical successor of Ku-band in the future and will evolve into the delivery mechanism of choice for emerging markets and high demand regions throughout the world.

• Higher bandwidths and speeds – “more bits per hertz”

• Smaller end-user antennas, enabling mobility and rapid deployment

• More cost-effective terminal equipment

• Higher frequencies, enabling frequency re-use

• More efficient support of high bandwidth applications for demanding military, resources and government environments

• Less congested than Ku- and C-band
