Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Ka and Ku bands?

Ka-Band (26.5-40 GHz) offers higher bandwidth and data throughput but is more susceptible to rain fade, while Ku-Band (12-18 GHz) provides more reliable performance in adverse weather with somewhat lower capacity. C-Band, at 4-8 GHz, sits below both, offering the most weather resilience and stable links, making it ideal for broadcast and maritime applications.

What frequency range does C-Band cover?

What types of C-Band antennas can be designed?

How long does a custom C-Band antenna design take?

Can C-Band antennas be certified for specific satellite operators?

Do you offer contract manufacturing after the design is finalized?

What industries typically need custom C-Band antennas?
