C-COM OPENS NEW R&D FACILITY FOR ITS PHASED ARRAY ANTENNA DEVELOPMENT

C-Com Satellite Systems Inc. will open a new R&D (research and development) facility in Waterloo, Ont., Canada, for the development and commercialization of its electronically steered phased array antenna.

The new site is located on the campus of the University of Waterloo and will open in January, 2023.

"The new Waterloo R&D centre represents a strategic expansion for C-Com, tapping into the wealth of tech talent, and the availability of a highly advanced on-campus antenna test facility, while reinforcing our commitment to commercialize the newly developed phased array technology," said Bilal Awada, chief technology officer of C-Com Satellite.

The company has developed a low-profile lightweight Ka-band vehicle mounted antenna that can track GEO (geosynchronous), LEO (low Earth orbit) and MEO (medium Earth orbit) constellations while in motion. The antenna technology is based on small four-by-four transmit and receive phased array modules which are the main building blocks for bigger size antennas and can be conformal to any curved surfaces.

This new revolutionary antenna technology is a result of more than six years of R&D collaboration between C-Com and the University of Waterloo. The company expects to develop several different models of this antenna that can be deployed for use for land mobility and other markets such as maritime and aeronautical.

"The Waterloo region is the perfect place for us to expand our footprint and help develop our next-generation COTM (Communications on The Move) phased array antennas," said Dr. Leslie Klein, president and chief executive officer of C-Com Satellite Systems.

The C-Com iNetVu mobile proprietary antennas and services associated with these products are used in mobile applications by corporations, government agencies, the military, law enforcement, homeland security, utilities, oil and gas platforms, police, fire, medical and other security, and emergency services with a need for affordable mobile two-way high-speed Internet over satellite connectivity.
