Wireless Spectrum: Real Estate in the Sky All wireless operators need RF spectrum: dedicated radio frequencies that carry TV, GPS, mobile broadband and other invisible signals through the air....
Space-based frequency converters for less crowded bands The traditional satellite market – dominated by bus-sized satellites and mega budgets – is giving way to SmallSats, CubeSats, NanoSats and...
How Orbital’s new wideband Ka-band LNA keeps you in the fast lane wherever you are As the Earth’s orbit traffic problem intensifies, satellite operators are moving quickly to find some elbow room...
How Orbital’s custom low noise block downconverters hold steady in high vibration environments Imagine the pressure a combat general is under when leading a mission – specifically, when leading...
At times, your low noise block downconverter (LNB) may be out of reach. It might be in a remote or unmanned location, built into an inaccessible enclosure, or mounted on the fuselage of an...
When the mercury spikes – or plummets – the low noise block downconverter (LNB) in your satellite terminal can stop working properly or stop working altogether, similar to a cell phone that gets...
In satellite communications, the cost of the terminal can often make or break a business plan. Hardware and installation costs are the primary drivers. If you can minimize both expenses without...
