Highlights
Full electronic scan removes mechanical pointing entirely — reliability by subtraction.
Antenna controller, modem and converters integrate into a single weatherproof enclosure.
Works across GEO high-throughput, MEO and LEO networks with automatic polarization.
Applications
Emergency communication vehicles · Government and agency programs · Fixed enterprise sites · System integrators
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: Full-Electronic-Scan ESA is Zero-mechanical reliability.

FAQ
What fails when there are no motors?
That is the point — electronic steering removes gimbal wear, the classic COTM failure item.
How fast is a beam switch?
Under 3 seconds between beams — relevant for LEO handovers and network changes.
One unit or several?
One: controller, modem and converters are unified in a single outdoor enclosure.
