EnSilica to supply beamforming SatCom ICs to Germany ’ s VITES band terminal is intended to be integrated into vehicles for Communications-on-the- Move applications . As such it can track the movement of low earth orbit ( LEO ) and other non-geo synchronous ( NGSO ) satellites and allows users to access highspeed connectivity anywhere on the planet while the vehicle is moving .
EnSilica , a leading turnkey supplier of mixed-signal ASICs and SoCs , has announced it is to supply VITES with a new beamformer chip for satellite user terminals . VITES will use the chip at the heart of its new ViSAT-Ka-band terminal .
EnSilica ’ s beamforming chip is optimised to enable VITES ’ s creation of power- and cost-efficient ground-based flat panel user terminals for satellite communication systems that can be used across a range of fixed and SatCom on the move ( SOTM ) applications .
VITES specialises in broadband wireless systems for professional applications and has been delivering flat panel terminals based on its own phased array technology since 2019 . Its new ViSAT-Ka-
ViSAT-Ka uses an innovative scalable architecture that enables extremely powerefficient TDD and FDD terminals at affordable prices . On this advanced technical base , VITES is developing terminals for both land-based and maritime vehicles of any kind , including for cost and power-sensitive automotive applications .
This means that vehicles can access ‘ always on ’ broadband connections outside of 4G / 5G network coverage areas with high throughput and in an ultracompact form factor that allows for both retro and line fitting .
