Intellian's OW11FL enhances OneWeb partnerships

Intellian Technologies Inc., a global provider of resilient multi-constellation, feature-rich satellite user terminals and communications solutions, and OneWeb, the low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communications company, announce a contract for the supply of Intellian’s OW11FL user terminals with mass production beginning in Q4 2023. The OW11FL is an Electronically Scanned Array (ESA) flat panel user terminal, ideally suited for OneWeb’s Low Earth Orbit network, with the ability to electronically scan over wide field of view to enable seamless beam and satellite handovers. OW11FL is well-suited to bring together OneWeb’s high-speed speed low latency network capability to offer services for cellular backhaul, community broadband, and civil government applications. Expanding portfolio The OW11FL joins an ever expanding portfolio of Intellian OneWeb user terminals across maritime and enterprise markets.  With six products across Intellian’s OW Series to date, the partnership between Intellian and OneWeb has grown significantly since the first contract in 2019 with additional product launches expected over the coming months in order to support OneWeb’s land and maritime mobility applications. Intellian’s experience of developing satellite communications user terminal technology and its partnership with OneWeb, has resulted in a sleek user terminal, designed for network efficiency and ease of installation, bringing the ease of plug-and-play connectivity to thousands of OneWeb customers. Fixed connectivity applications The OW11FL is the first in Intellian’s portfolio of flat panel electronically steered antenna-based user terminals to support fixed connectivity applications with a vision to extend into flat panel products to support the delivery of mobility capabilities, for enterprise, maritime, land mobility, government and defence applications. Intellian is a vertically integrated product company with their flat panel electronically steered antenna technology based solutions designed at their Advanced Development Center in the USA and manufacturing taking place at Intellian’s state-of-the-art campus in Korea. Intellian’s streamlined process enables exceptional product value, quality, diversity, and scalability of Intellian’s flat panel user terminals from concept through to delivery. Partnership with OneWeb Eric Sung, President and CEO at Intellian Technologies Inc, said: "This contract further solidifies our partnership with OneWeb. Sharing the same innovative passion and commitment to customer excellence is ultimately the foundation upon which our partnership thrives.” “We look forward to customers experiencing the highest performing flat panel on OneWeb’s network and benefiting from a lower operating cost across the ecosystem.” OneWeb connectivity Massimiliano Ladovaz, OneWeb CTO, said: "We are delighted to continue expanding our work with Intellian to add more user terminals to our portfolio.” “Flat panel user terminals are a great solution to deliver low latency, high speed OneWeb connectivity to customers globally. The easy to transport, low-profile and sleek design allows for more simple installation while also maximising the benefits of the network. We are excited to introduce the OW11FL to OneWeb’s customers.”

Intellian and OneWeb expand satellite partnership

Intellian is delighted to announce that it will be commencing the production of a wide range of dedicated user terminals for the global low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite communications provider OneWeb, ready for delivery in 2021 and beyond. Looking to 2021, OneWeb is focused on scaling the satellite constellation to begin commercial services starting at the end of next year to the UK, Alaska, Canada, Northern Europe, Greenland, Iceland, and the Arctic Seas. Intellian announced its partnership with OneWeb to build terminals for both the fixed enterprise and maritime markets in 2019 and OneWeb’s keenly-awaited revival enabled the two organisations to recommence their partnership.
