ESA30 packs millimeter-wave phased-array technology into a 480×30×57 mm, ≤11 kg flat profile: one terminal that runs as a station-ary (COTP) unit, then switches to on-the-move (COTM) duty across GEO, MEO and LEO satellite networks.

Highlights
A powered tilt base turns the same unit from COTP into COTM configuration — buy once, redeploy anywhere.
Vehicle-roof and fixed installs without the wind load of a dish.
Supports LITE/5G/6G base-station modules and mainstream satcom modems in one outdoor unit.
Applications
Government & enterprise mobility · Energy and utility fleets · Emergency networks · Telecom operators
Electronically-Steered Family — Compare Four Arrays
| Model | Band | Scan mode | Multi-orbit | Differentiator |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Portable Phased Array | Ku or Ka | Hybrid 2-axis electronic + 2-axis manual | GEO·MEO·LEO | Band-selectable, pack-and-go |
| Ku Hybrid-Scan Multi | Ku | Hybrid electronic + automatic mechanical | HTS GEO / MEO / LEO | Full auto-polarization, unlimited azimuth |
| Ka Hybrid-Scan SOTM | Ka | Hybrid electronic + automatic mechanical | GEO / MEO / LEO | Ka-band on the move, 360° azimuth |
| Full-Electronic-Scan ESA | Ku or Ka | Pure electronic, no moving parts | Beam switch <3 s | Zero-mechanical reliability |
| ESA30 | Ku | 2-D electronic-scan / hybrid-scan | GEO + MEO/LEO optional | 480×30×57 mm low profile, ≤11 kg |

How to Choose in This Family
- Band plan. Ku where capacity is leased per MHz; Ka where HTS spot beams cover your operating area.
- Motion profile. Static or man-portable → hybrid scan is enough; comms on the move → pure electronic scan with <3 s beam switching.
- Servicing reality. No mechanical structure (Full-ESA) means no gimbal servicing — the reliability choice for unattended posts.
Where this model sits: ESA30 is 480×30×57 mm low profile, ≤11 kg.

FAQ
What does COTP/COTM switchable mean?
The same antenna serves stationary applications and, on its powered base, mobile platforms — one SKU covers both deployment styles.
How thin is thin?
30 mm profile at 480×57 mm — it mounts where a reflector dish cannot (manufacturer specification).
Which orbits are supported?
GEO high-throughput now, with MEO/LEO options — multi-orbit operation across satellite networks.
