C-COM SUCCESSFULLY TRACKS KEPLER LEO SATELLITES

C-Com Satellite Systems Inc. has confirmed its first successful integration with low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite tracking capabilities. The test was completed with the C-Com iNetVu FLY-981 Ku-band antenna and Kepler Communications' first-in-orbit LEO satellites, KIPP and CASE. Kepler is a pioneering nanosatellite telecommunications company based in Toronto. During the store-and-forward tests, C-Com's FLY-981 antenna successfully acquired a signal to Kepler's nanosatellites and achieved data transfer speeds of more than 100 megabits per second down and 30 megabits per second up.

Shortly thereafter, the same data were downloaded to Kepler's teleport in Inuvik, Canada.

This uniquely successful test completes a significant development project between the two companies. C-Com's engineering team developed the necessary tracking algorithms to work with the already globally renowned iNetVu 7000 series controllers, and Kepler provided access to its powerful LEO satellite constellation and assisted with daily testing.

The iNetVu FLY-981 is C-Com's 98-centimetre, fully automatic and motorized Ku-band flyaway product. This antenna system is a highly portable terminal of choice for various industries, such as emergency response, military communications, cellular backhaul, satellite news gathering, and oil and gas exploration.

"For C-Com, this test with Kepler Communications' LEO nanosatellites opens up new developing markets for our extensive worldwide reseller base," commented Leslie Klein, president and chief executive officer of C-Com Satellite Systems. "The store-and-forward data delivery services offered by Kepler's LEO constellation using our iNetVu mobile antenna system's low-earth orbit option will provide customers with a unique, cost-effective large data transfer capability."

"For Kepler, the addition of the C-Com FLY-981 as an approved satellite antenna solution expands the potential user base beyond maritime applications to land-based mobile/transportable applications, such as natural resource exploration and extraction, remote research bases, disaster management, defence, and many other vertical markets requiring high-capacity connectivity where portability and reliability are key considerations," commented Mina Mitry, chief executive officer of Kepler Communications.

The company offers classic and next-generation Driveaway, Flyaway, Fixed Motorized and Manpack systems for any vertical market where communications are challenged due to disruption or deficiency. C-Com has more than 20 different Comm-on-the-Pause antenna models integrated with all major modem manufacturers and approved with most major satellite operators, and is working closely with more than 500 active dealers in over 100 countries. More than 8,000 iNetVu systems have been sold since the brand's inception.

Working with a renowned research team at the University of Waterloo, the company is also developing an electronically steerable, Comm-on-the-Move Ka-band flat-panel antenna system based on phased array technology with the potential to revolutionize satellite's addressable market in all mobility markets: land, airborne and maritime.
