FOLDSAT CIVILIAN MANPACK

The FoldSat LEO Ku OW LEO equipment is a fixed, Comms‑on‑the‑Pause (COTP), one‑person portable solution designed to deliver high‑speed, low‑latency broadband connectivity over Eutelsat’s OneWeb constellation. Engineered for civil field operations, emergency response, utilities, and maintenance teams, it enables reliable communications in areas beyond the reach of traditional fixed or wireless networks, where rapid deployment and operational autonomy are essential.

The equipment is a person‑portable, self‑aligning Electronically Steered Antenna (ESA) system, optimised for Ku‑band LEO operations. Featuring a low‑profile, foldable antenna, the FoldSat represents a game‑changing approach for field deployments, allowing a single operator to carry, deploy and activate the equipment quickly. Despite its compact and lightweight form factor, it delivers high‑speed data, video and voice services, supporting critical applications under the toughest environmental conditions. The self‑pointing architecture ensures automatic satellite acquisition across the LEO constellation, minimising setup time and operational complexity.

Designed for portability and ease of use, the FoldSat comes as a complete, ready‑to‑deploy solution, including a Wi‑Fi 6 built‑in modem, an industrial‑grade AC/DC power unit, and a tripod for stable field installation. A range of optional extras, such as a transit case and backpack, further enhance mobility and flexibility. As part of Eutelsat’s LEO equipment range, the FoldSat LEO Ku OW offers a compact, resilient and operator‑friendly connectivity solution tailored to demanding civil field operations and rapid response scenarios.
