In-Motion Satellite Antennas

The best satellite antenna depends on your platform, frequency band, and orbit type. Micro-Ant offers parabolic, flat panel, phased array, and beam-switching antennas covering UHF through Ka-band for LEO, MEO, and GEO satellites. For COTM applications, electronically steered phased arrays or beam-switching antennas provide near-instantaneous tracking with seamless satellite handover.

COTM refers to the ability to maintain active satellite communication links while a platform is in motion — whether a vehicle, vessel, or aircraft. In-motion satellite antennas use mechanical or electronic beam steering to continuously track the satellite, ensuring uninterrupted voice and data connectivity regardless of platform movement or heading changes.

Micro-Ant's in-motion satellite antennas cover UHF, L, S, C, X, Ku, and Ka-bands (750 MHz to 40 GHz). The Ultra-Wide Band Ka system spans 17.7–21.2 GHz on receive and 27.5–31 GHz on transmit, enabling connectivity across multiple satellite operators including Intelsat, Eutelsat, Inmarsat, Iridium Certus, and SES O3B in a single aperture.

Yes. Micro-Ant's in-motion satellite antennas comply with MIL-STD-810 environmental requirements and hold ARSTRAT certifications for military satellite terminal use. The company also maintains AS9100:2016 aerospace quality certification and ISO 9001:2015 certification, with professional test reports available for all major satellite operator and military certification requirements.

Yes. Micro-Ant's beam-switching and phased array antennas are specifically designed for LEO satellite tracking, offering near-instantaneous make-before-break switching between all visible LEO satellites. They are certified for the Iridium Certus constellation and support data rates up to 800 Kbps, with hemispherical coverage for platforms across maritime, airborne, and land-mobile environments.

Micro-Ant engineers in-motion satellite antennas for vehicle-mounted, airborne (helicopter and UAV), maritime shipboard, and man-pack configurations. Each platform has unique mechanical, aerodynamic, and environmental constraints — Micro-Ant provides bespoke solutions with appropriate form factors, including conformal low-profile radomes for UAVs and rugged mechanically or electronically steered apertures for maritime vessels.
