Specialist satellite communications provider Intellian has won a $73 million (€61.4m) contract from Low Earth orbit constellation operator OneWeb for user terminals.
“These innovative, easily-installed antennas will use next-generation technology to provide high bandwidth, low latency connectivity to OneWeb’s global satellite service, delivering to multiple markets including enterprise and government services,” said a joint release from Intellian and OneWeb.
The terminals, which are described as “low cost” will be revealed in greater detail later this year and become operational in 2022.
Intellian’s equipment is well-regarded in the maritime, government, military, energy and cruise sectors.
