TYSONS CORNER, VA September 23, 2015 — Inmarsat’s Rebecca Cowen-Hirsch has touted the merits of using Ka-band satellite communications technology as a tool designed to meet the data handling requirements of military missions today, ExecutiveBiz reported Tuesday.
The Ka-band frequency works to support the Defense Department’s work through reliable, resilient delivery of high-speed data using antennas with a small footprint, Cowen-Hirsch, senior vice president for government strategy and policy at Inmarsat Government Services, wrote in an article for MilsatMagazine that discusses the evolution of satcom and the Ka-band frequency.
“A single satellite service provider can field global coverage via the comparatively greater number of available orbital slots designated for Ka-band, †she said.
“There’s an added advantage here — commercial and military Ka-band frequencies are adjacent, and the development of advanced hybrid terminals is underway to cover an extended Ka-band range.â€
