Product details
Product Overview
Leopard Ka-Band Trifunctional ESA Series Terminal is a cutting-edge VSAT solution designed for high performance, reliability and ease of use. Equipped with a high-functioning multi-chipset, it meets the demands of high-speed tracking, high integration and exceptional reliability in a compact, low-profile design. Leopard integrates advanced 2D mechanical steering with fully developed 2D ESA beamforming, offering universal broadband solutions for Communication-On-The-Move (COTM) and Communication-On-The-Pause (COTP) applications, mainly in fleets for land and marine mobility and fixed platforms.
Key Features
Triple-application modes: fully electronic steering (COTM), hybrid steering with rotating platform (COTM) and hybrid steering with single support (COTP)
Unique design combining mechanical and electronic steering for a wider elevation scan angle, ensuring minimal signal loss in both EIRP and G/T
Advanced electronic steering technology: reliable beamforming for rapid, efficient satellite tracking and seamless switching across GEO, MEO and LEO orbits
Hybrid steering capability: fully integrated 2D ESA beamforming plus 2D mechanical steering for robust, versatile tracking
NTN/TN integration: supports both satellite backhaul and terrestrial network access
