Calian Group Ltd., a trusted provider of mission-critical solutions for defence, space, healthcare, and other critical infrastructure sectors, has been awarded a contract by a leading global space technology company to design and manufacture four Ka/Q/V-band RF gateway ground stations supporting the roll-out of services for two state-of-the-art geostationary satellites.
The gateways will form the critical ground infrastructure linking the new satellites to terrestrial networks, enabling reliable, secure, high-capacity government communications across Africa, Europe, and Asia. Under the contract, Calian will deliver four 10-metre Ka/Q/V-band gateway antennas, associated radio-frequency equipment, and monitoring and control systems in the Middle East. Once complete, the satellites will provide next-generation, sovereign connectivity for secure government communications.
“We are proud to support this important program, enabling secure and high-performance connectivity across three continents,” said Chris Pogue, President, Defence and Space, Calian. “This win demonstrates our position as world leaders in providing advanced ground satellite solutions and highlights the strength of Canadian engineering in delivering end-to-end ground infrastructure that meets the most demanding technical and mission-critical requirements.”
Calian’s ground station solutions are designed to support multiple satellite orbits, GEO, LEO & MEO, and all frequency bands used in modern satellite communications, including the technically demanding Q/V bands. The company’s antennas incorporate high-accuracy, high-efficiency reflectors and pedestals engineered for precision control.
These systems are engineered and manufactured in Canada by Calian’s experienced engineering team, drawing on decades of expertise in designing and integrating complex satellite ground networks for defence, commercial, and scientific missions worldwide.
The competitive international tender attracted multiple global providers of Ka/Q/V-band ground systems. Calian’s selection reinforces its position as one of the world’s leaders in advanced ground infrastructure solutions for modern satellite operators.
