NXT Communications Corporation (NXTCOMM) has signed a capacity agreement with Eutelsat Communications for capacity on Eutelsat's E117WA satellite, aimed to provide the Over-The-Air Testing of NXTCOMM's proprietary flat-panel terminals that will offer high-speed connectivity to aviation, military and other mobility markets.

In June, NXTCOMM unveiled its new Electronically Steered Antenna (ESA), a building block for a portfolio of next-generation, lower-cost commercial satellite antennas designed to meet global demand for cost-effective worldwide mobile connectivity.

Under the agreement, NXTCOMM will also offer satellite capacity to customers seeking a differentiated connectivity experience not available from existing service providers.

NXTCOMM will lease capacity on EUTELSAT 117 West A, located at 116.8 West, which offers high-power Ku-band coverage over North and South America.

Tim Morton, co-founder and president, NXTCOMM, commented: "Eutelsat has proven to be an ideal partner to help us get our new technology to market, and to help NXTCOMM validate the performance of our best-in-class antenna technology and to provide ongoing managed satellite service capacity to our customers as we scale production of our game-changing flat panel antennas."

Mike Antonovich, CEO of Eutelsat Americas, added: "We are delighted to support NXTCOMM during the critical test and implementation phase of their high-performance antenna, and look forward to supporting them for many years into the future as they develop their unique mobility solutions."

NXTCOMM's ongoing over-the-air performance tests will kick off in November followed by full antenna testing and initial low-rate production in 2021, with Ka-band product testing to begin later in the year.

Western Australia to host space communications station
Perth, Australia (SPX) Oct 16, 2020
An optical communications station capable of receiving high-speed data transmissions from space is set to be built in Western Australia and will be installed by The University of Western Australia. The advanced communications ground station will be able to receive data from spacecraft anywhere between low-Earth orbit and the surface of the Moon. It has the potential to support ground-breaking space projects, including NASA's Artemis mission to land the first woman and next man on the Moon by ... read more
