Anuvu's DPSAA system designed for GEO and LEO networks
Anuvu will showcase its new Dual-Panel Ka-Band Inflight Connectivity Antenna System (DPSAA) to airlines attending the Airline Passenger Experience Association Expo in Long Beach.
The antenna is a key component of Anuvu’s Airconnect Ka multi-orbit connectivity platform designed specifically for both GEO and LEO networks.
The dual-panel is optimized for fast handoffs and ultra-high data rates in for GEO orbits. Building on QEST’s latest-generation responsive motion-control system, the dual-panel antenna maximizes data flow even when GEO and LEO satellites are low on the horizon. Anuvu’s customers can select the GEO satellite connectivity option that provides the most efficient inflight connectivity performance today, while maintaining full forward compatibility with current and future non-geostationary networks.
"We are thrilled to be able to showcase our latest hybrid-network, multi-orbit innovation with our longtime partner QEST,” said Mike Pigott, Anuvu Executive Vice President Connectivity in today’s announcement. “QEST continues to innovate in satellite communications through the development of antenna systems based on their decades of experience.
“Anuvu remains committed to designing and developing the best solutions to enable our aviation customers to obtain superior connectivity services today and well into the future. Our open-architecture design doesn’t lock customers into specific system components, enabling customers to maximize the value of their investment over time while receiving the best service in the market.”
The DPSAA is the latest innovation from a family of antenna products designed by QEST to withstand the harsh environment on the aircraft fuselage.
