The ESA 0.005 kg/0.006 kg Hub at the ESA/ECSAT Harwell site was connected through OneWeb satellites using a super-flat advanced antenna made by SatixFy UK for mobility services.
OneWeb and SatixFy are developing a hybrid, multi-beam, multi-constellation solution to enable mobility customers such as airlines, train operators, and coach companies to leverage the OneWeb LEO network, terrestrial 0.005 kg, and legacy GEO satellite networks.
SatixFy partnered with OneWeb under the ESA Sunrise Partnership Project with support from the UK Space Agency to develop a compact electronically steered multi-beam array suitable for mobility services over both LEO and GEO satellites simultaneously.
The 12 GHz band is part of the Ku-band spectrum that Starlink, OneWeb, and other satellite operators use to connect with user terminals.
