The global market for telecommunications is expanding rapidly. Telecommunications is one of the leading growing sectors in the world economy.

 

The demand for bandwidth is ever growing. Changes in information usage patterns are rapid and the human mind adjusts very quickly to new services and explores them for new capabilities. 

 

Exponential demand growth for communication bandwidth compels satellite owners and manufacturers to continually seek more efficient ways to increase satellite bandwidth and throughput. Launchers are limited in size, thus limiting antenna size on the satellite, and antennas are rigid and heavy with complex mechanisms and many failure points.

Applications such as Satellite Radio, HDTV, ULTRA HDTV(4K), Mobile TV, In-flight Internet, fast Internet, bi-directional satellite for cellular communication and satellite imagery download, are driving insatiable demand for satellite communications bandwidth.  This demand pushes satellite manufacturers to build satellites with bigger Antenna sizes, higher transmitting power and higher receiver sensitivity.

Volume in launcher canopies and satellites limits the maximum diameter of communication antennas.  Sophisticated, costly mechanisms are needed to deploy folded structures; these mechanisms are not able to provide large Antennas, have many fail points and have a large mass.

 

An innovative technology is needed to both address the technical challenge and enable further expansion of satellite services for both the traditional GEO satellites and the new space LEO small satellite constellations.

 

NSL is the only company developing a platform that combines all the technologies, including the unique combination of the expandable reflector and the “Smart” feed system called Flexosub.

Our Product is compact, lightweight and powerful (High Gain).

A provisional Patent has been filed. The team’s proven space technology development ability and strong business knowledge combined with L’Garde as a strategic partner ensures success.
