5 terms

solid-state power amplifier (SSPA) technical

"Gilat Wavestream’s EnduroStream solid-state power amplifier (SSPA) solution."

traveling wave tube amplifiers (TWTAs) technical

"designed to replace traveling wave tube amplifiers (TWTAs) in gateways"

Very High Throughput Satellites (VHTS) technical

"supporting multi-orbit constellations, Very High Throughput Satellites (VHTS)"

Very high throughput satellites (VHTS) are communications satellites designed to deliver substantially greater data capacity than traditional satellites by using many narrowly focused spot beams, high-frequency bands (often Ka-band or higher), aggressive frequency reuse and advanced on-board processing or digital payloads. By concentrating power and spectrum into dozens or hundreds of small coverage beams and often employing beamforming or switching, a VHTS multiplies usable bandwidth across its footprint; the term denotes a level of capacity rather than a single technology, so implementations and orbital choices (geostationary, medium or low Earth orbit) can vary.

Software-Defined Satellites (SDS) technical

"and Software-Defined Satellites (SDS) via our Commercial and Defense Divisions"

Satellites whose core functions, mission roles or communications capabilities are implemented in reprogrammable software rather than fixed hardware, allowing operators to change behavior, payload processing, radio parameters or mission software by uploading code and configuration changes from the ground. They rely on modular or virtualized onboard systems (for example software-defined radios, virtual payloads and software flight control), but remain limited by the satellite’s physical hardware, power, thermal and regulatory constraints—software can change how resources are used but cannot create capabilities the hardware does not support.

Satellite On-the-Move (SOTM) technical

"advanced Satellite On-the-Move (SOTM) antennas and Electronically Steered Antennas"

Satellite on-the-move (SOTM) describes satellite communications systems and terminals designed to provide continuous two-way data or voice links while the user terminal is physically moving (for example on cars, trucks, ships, trains, or aircraft). SOTM terminals keep a stable connection to one or more satellites by mechanically or electronically steering their antenna beams to track satellites and manage Doppler and pointing challenges; because they must maintain alignment while changing location and orientation, SOTM systems typically involve stabilized mounts or phased-array antennas, real‑time tracking and beam‑handover between satellites, and greater hardware and signaling complexity than fixed satellite terminals.
