Ka-Band

KaBand

Ka-band beams are much more focused, resulting in high powered spot beams lit over specific regions. Much higher throughput can be achieved using the same amount of bandwidth, driving down the cost of the spectrum and the cost per bit.

At the high frequencies of Ka-band, you can use a smaller dish to get an equivalent power output up to the satellite. It also means the RF amplifier requirements are reduced.

In short, we are offering satellite operators (the ones that own the spacecraft!) the ability to have antennas on the continent to provide access to, or offer services directly via, the Liquid Dataport Teleports. 

We are pushing our satellite licensing and terrestrial connectivity capabilities to the whole of the satellite industry.
