Lesa Blade Ku AIR
Airborne satcom antenna
Lesa Blade Ku band air terminal is a low-profile, fully electronically steerable antenna (ESA) with no moving parts. Designed for in-flight connectivity, the terminal enables short acquisition time and allows for high dynamic tracking enabling the best performance.
This compact solution supports all ranges of airborne platforms sizes to include wide-body aircraft, executive aviation, and rotary-wing operations, basically any in-flight connectivity. Its low-profile design makes it perfect for integration on any aviation platform to include already in place fuselage mount designs.
Lesa Blade includes a TX panel, RX panel, and an antenna management unit (AMU), allowing flexible installation options for different airborne applications.
Supports Multi-Orbit, Multi constellation architectures, enabling switching from GEO to LEO instantly, in flight.
Key Features
Multi orbit constellations
A simple and intuitive solution that provides multi-orbit SATCOM services, with the ability to blend and transfer network traffic seamlessly between high-capacity LEO (in KU only), MEO (in Ka only), and GEO satellite constellations
All In One Solution
Integrated terminals include everything needed for operation: modem, Antenna Control Unit
(ACU), tracking sensors, downconverter, and a full RF front end.
No moving parts
Since there are no moving parts, calibration is not required therefore providing long-term reliability and lower maintenance costs.
Short transition time
Extremely short transition time. The significance of fiber-like connectivity is a major step forward for high-data-rate applications requiring communications mobility.
Worldwide satellite networks
Supports Global coverage networks, like Inmarsat Global Xpress, SES and Intelsat, for seamless satellite coverage anywhere, anytime.
Easy set-up and operation
The easy installation and integration of the terminals, allows operators to complete the process without the need for time-consuming and costly visits of technicians.
