Companies will optimize cutting-edge technology through technology readiness phases.
IsotropicLONDON - Isotropic Systems, the next-generation satellite terminal provider, announced a long-term strategic cooperation agreement with QinetiQ to further develop its range of optical beam forming devices for Isotropic Systems' disruptive antenna technology. The agreement with QinetiQ, a multinational defense organization and a leader in the formulation and fabrication of high-performance materials, represents the maturation of a partnership in place for the last two years. Having successfully retired all known scientific risk, the companies intend to further optimize and tailor the device designs to meet a range of commercial, defense, 5G, satellite payload and consumer satellite broadband applications.Isotropic Systems' transformational technology will enable the first low-cost, fully electronic tracking terminal that can deliver satellite broadband to markets previously unable to afford HTS connectivity. Together, Isotopic Systems and QinetiQ conducted an extensive material selection process for the beam forming technology in order to achieve a low cost and highly productive manufacturing approach suitable for mass-markets such as consumer broadband and advanced enterprise services such as aero connectivityThe advanced beam forming design allows Isotropic Systems to create advanced solutions that can achieve high satellite gain to support various frequencies for a range of applications, particularly those in challenging or mobility environments. In this next phase, Isotropic Systems and QinetiQ plan to mutually invest in further designs applicable to the entire space ecosystem.
"Our agreement with QinetiQ will enable us to dramatically alter satellite communications by enhancing the technology on the ground and providing adaptability to suit various user platforms," said John Finney, founder and CEO of Isotropic Systems. "More importantly, our efforts will help usher in the satellite industry as a core segment of the broadband telecommunications sector. The QinetiQ capabilities in terms of next-generation material science are the core of our high throughput terminals that will deliver a scalable technology at a fraction of the cost of existing ground systems."
