FOLDSAT LEO KU OW​ MILITARY

1-Person Portable Equipment

Fixed, Comms on the Pause Government

The FoldSat LEO Ku OW Military LEO equipment is a fixed, Comms‑on‑the‑Pause (COTP), one‑person portable solution designed to deliver secure, high‑speed and low‑latency broadband connectivity over Eutelsat’s OneWeb constellation. Purpose‑built for military and defence operations, it is optimised for use at the tactical edge, enabling reliable communications in disconnected, remote or contested environments where terrestrial networks are unavailable or degraded.

The equipment is a person‑portable, self‑aligning Electronically Steered Antenna (ESA) system, engineered specifically for Ku‑band LEO operations. Its low‑profile, foldable antenna design allows a single operator to transport, deploy and activate the terminal rapidly, making it a game changer for forward and expeditionary field operations. Despite its compact and lightweight form factor, the FoldSat Military delivers high‑speed data, video and voice services, supporting mission‑critical communications under extreme operational conditions. Designed in compliance with MIL‑STD 810H and MIL‑STD 461G standards, the equipment ensures environmental resilience, electromagnetic compatibility and proven performance in harsh, dynamic and demanding military environments. The self‑pointing architecture enables automatic satellite acquisition across the LEO constellation, minimising setup time and operator workload.

Designed for maximum resilience and field autonomy, the FoldSat LEO Ku OW Military is supplied as a fully integrated, ready‑to‑deploy system. It includes a Wi‑Fi 6 built‑in modem, an industrial‑grade AC/DC power unit, and a stabilised tripod, enabling rapid deployment across varied terrain. Optional military‑specific accessories, such as a ruggedised transit case and backpack configuration, further enhance portability and operational flexibility. As part of Eutelsat’s LEO equipment range, the FoldSat LEO Ku OW Military provides a robust, secure and highly mobile connectivity solution tailored to the demands of defence and tactical field operations.
