Isotropic Systems has announced a long-term strategic cooperation agreement with QinetiQ to further develop its range of optical beam forming devices for Isotropic Systems’ disruptive antenna technology. The agreement with QinetiQ, a multinational defense organization and a leader in the formulation and fabrication of high-performance materials, represents the maturation of a partnership in place for the last two years. Having successfully retired all known scientific risk, the companies intend to further optimize and tailor the device designs to meet a range of commercial, defense, 5G, satellite payload and consumer satellite broadband applications.
Isotropic Systems’ transformational technology will enable the first low-cost, fully electronic tracking terminal that can deliver satellite broadband to markets previously unable to afford HTS connectivity. Together, Isotopic Systems and QinetiQ conducted an extensive material selection process for the beam forming technology in order to achieve a low cost and highly productive manufacturing approach suitable for mass-markets such as consumer broadband and advanced enterprise services such as aero connectivity. The advanced beam forming design allows Isotropic Systems to create advanced solutions that can achieve high satellite gain to support various frequencies for a range of applications, particularly those in challenging or mobility environments. In this next phase, Isotropic Systems and QinetiQ plan to mutually invest in further designs applicable to the entire space ecosystem.
