ThinKom, Comsat Partner on Mobile Satcom Demo

ThinKom Solutions and Comsat jointly tested and validated continuous high-speed satellite communications in a moving vehicle under a range of conditions, they said Thursday. They said the 5,000-mile demonstration used a roof-mounted ThinKom phased-array satellite antenna on an SUV, while Comsat provided connectivity using commercial Ku-band satellites and terrestrial networks. They said the vehicle will be in Washington over the coming months for demos.
