High Efficiency Beamforming IC and Intelligent Beam-forming Antenna Modules for Satellite IoT and ESA Terminals

High Efficiency Beamforming IC and Intelligent Beam-forming Antenna Modules for Satellite IoT and ESA Terminals

Project

mmSense, in partnership with C-COM Satellite Systems and with support from the Government of Canada’s FABrIC program, is advancing the commercialization of a new class of beamforming ICs and electronic scanning antennas. These technologies aim to reduce power consumption and cost while enhancing performance — making satellite connectivity more viable for emerging GEO/LEO, IoT and communication markets.

Through this project, mmSense is validating its technology in the Ka-band satellite market and building a commercial foundation for broader adoption of its beamforming solutions. The outcome is expected to strengthen Canada’s position in the global landscape of emerging intelligent wireless communication technologies.

"This project positions mmSense Technologies and our partners at the forefront of millimeter-wave innovation in Canada. By accelerating the development and commercialization of high-performance beamforming ICs and antennas, we’re laying the groundwork for scalable and energy-efficient satellite, Radar and 5G/6G communication systems. It’s a critical step toward growing Canada’s role in the global semiconductor ecosystem."

Co-Lead
C-COM Satellite Systems Inc.

C-COM Satellite Systems Inc. is a pioneer and leading global designer, developer, and manufacturer of transportable and mobile satellite-based antenna systems. The Company has developed proprietary, auto-acquisition controller technology for rapid antenna pointing to a satellite with just the press of a button, enabling Broadband Internet via Satellite across a wide range of market applications worldwide, including regions unserved or underserved by terrestrial access technologies.

C-COM has sold more than 11,000 antenna systems, in over 100 countries, through a dedicated dealer network that provides service to a wide range of vertical markets such as Oil and Gas Exploration, Military Communications, Disaster Management, SNG, Emergency Communications, Cellular Backhaul, Telemedicine, Mobile Education, Government Services, Mobile Banking, and others. The Company’s iNetVu® brand is synonymous with high quality, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.

C-COM is in final stages of satellite testing and manufacturing of a potentially revolutionary Ka-band, electronically steerable, modular, conformal, flat panel phased array antenna. CCOM has developed this unique multi-orbit antenna with the intent of providing low-cost, high-throughput mobility applications over satellite for land, airborne and maritime verticals over LEO, MEO and GEO satellite constellations. Another significant project underway at C-COM is the development of an Analog Beamforming Integrated Circuit, which is progressing well and is expected to enter testing phase by the middle of this year. These BFICs will be used in the manufacturing of all our ESA antennas with the intent to significantly reduce their cost and improve their performance.
