“Intellian has been a valued partner in flight operations and testing programs with Telesat’s LEO demonstration satellites; their proven performance and innovation makes Intellian an ideal partner for our advanced LEO satellite program,” said Aneesh Dalvi, VP for Telesat Lightspeed Systems Development.

Telesat’s Lightspeed landing stations are each equipped with multiple Intellian gateway antennas, as well as baseband, network, and control systems to route customer data to Points-of-Presence for telecom networks, internet, and cloud services

“Our collaboration with Telesat has been exceptional, and the resulting gateway antenna systems are a fascinating addition to our portfolio,” said Eric Sung, CEO at Intellian Technologies.

“This evolution with Telesat solidifies the crucial role we play within the satellite communications ecosystem even more.”
