Satpad is a notebook-class satellite terminal: a full two-dimensional electronically-steered phased array that folds flat, opens into service, and switches between high-orbit high-power satellites and LEO constellations — built for the 5G-A/6G non-terrestrial-network era.

Highlights
All-electronic steering tracks the satellite through the whole visible pass.
Unfold, power on, on-air — operation is deliberately as simple as opening a laptop.
Carries 5G base-station links and supports multi-orbit satellite switching for hybrid networks.
Applications
Remote broadband for field teams · Special-region and cross-border connectivity · 5G/6G NTN pilots · Government & enterprise mobility
Flyaway & Fixed Terminal Family — Compare Four Terminals
| Model | Aperture | G/T | Pointing | Deployment highlight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.35m Manual Flyaway | 0.35 m flat panel | >10 dB/K | Manual, one-touch unfold | 7.5 kg — lightest way on-air |
| 0.35m Auto-Deploy | 0.35 m flat panel | >10 dB/K | Fully automatic, <3 min | No satcom engineer required |
| 0.6m Auto-Point Flyaway | 0.6 m slotted | 13 dB/K | One-touch auto + manual | Force-7 wind operation, APP basebands |
| 0.6m Fixed Flat-Panel | 0.6 m slotted | 13 dB/K | Fixed, set-and-forget | Force-10 wind, −40…+55 °C unattended |
| Satpad 5G-A/6G | Flat-panel pad | — | Point-and-go portable | 5G-A/6G fused satellite access |

How to Choose in This Family
- Link budget first. 0.35 m suits Ku spot beams; the 0.6 m aperture adds 3 dB/K of margin for rain zones and smaller beams.
- Who points it. Manual saves 1.9 kg and money when a trained operator is present; auto-deploy pays for itself when crews rotate.
- Fixed or flyaway. A permanently-mounted site takes the force-10 fixed panel; dislocated teams take one of the three packable units.
Where this model sits: Satpad 5G-A/6G is 5G-A/6G fused satellite access.

FAQ
What makes Satpad different from the flyaway terminals?
Satpad steers its beam electronically — no moving pointing structure, no blind zones — and switches between GEO and LEO constellations for NTN deployments.
Is it really laptop-class?
It stows at ≤320×265×65 mm and weighs ≤4.5 kg; deployed footprint is ≤517×320×42 mm (manufacturer specification).
Does it carry 5G traffic?
Yes — it transparently passes 5G base-station links alongside satellite transport.
