Imagine a satellite dish that is flat like a tablet and can track satellites moving across the sky without any moving parts. Instead of using expensive hardware to steer the signal, this technology uses smart software to do the heavy lifting. This makes the antennas much cheaper to build and way more energy-efficient.
Current satellite terminals are too expensive and power-hungry for mass adoption, creating a bottleneck for the deployment of LEO/MEO mega-constellations.
A Ka-band single aperture electronically steerable antenna (17-31 GHz) and a modem-agnostic antenna control unit tested in operational conditions.
If you are a provider dealing with the high cost of user terminals for LEO constellations — this project developed a flat panel antenna that reduces production costs and energy consumption by at least x5. This allows for mass-market adoption of broadband services.
If you are a government agency dealing with the need for secure, on-the-move communications in the military Ka band — this project developed a single aperture electronically steerable antenna covering 17 to 31 GHz. It provides high-performance connectivity for strategic assets.
If you are a fleet operator dealing with expensive and power-hungry satellite hardware for onboard Wi-Fi — this project developed a low-energy flat panel terminal. It reduces energy consumption by at least x5 compared to current state-of-the-art solutions.
The technology shifts complexity from hardware to software, achieving at least a x5 reduction in production costs compared to state-of-the-art solutions.
The company forecasts sales of 18.1k Ka antennas and the licensing of 900k units by 2030.
Yes, the business model includes licensing, with a target of 900k licensed units by 2030 to drive mass-market adoption.
The terminal is compatible with GEO and NGSO constellations, specifically mentioned as a key enabler for the EU-based IRIS² multi-orbit constellation.
Based on available project data, the project period ends on 2025-11-30.
The project is led by a single French SME, Greenerwave, which holds 100% of the industry ratio. This lean structure suggests a fast-to-market approach, focusing on proprietary beamforming technology and direct B2B partnerships rather than academic research.
