TMY Technology Inc. unveiled advanced user terminal solutions for next-generation satellite communications in collaboration with Comtech Telecommunications Corp., a global communications technology leader, including a cutting-edge software-defined Ku/Ka multi-orbit ESA integrated terminal and a passive slotted-waveguide antenna terminal. By combining Comtech's multi-orbit satellite modems with TMYTEK's electronically steered antenna (ESA) technology, the integrated terminal enables hybrid connectivity across multiple orbital layers, supporting applications spanning commercial broadband, high-altitude platform systems (HAPS) and mission-critical government and defense communications. The passive slotted-waveguide antenna terminal delivers a low-profile, resilient solution for fixed deployments, emergency response and demanding operational environments where reliable satellite connectivity is essential with limited available energy.
Featuring a software-defined phased array design, the multi-orbit terminal integrates Comtech's ELEVATE user terminals with TMYTEK's revolutionary ESA to support seamless connectivity across Geostationary Orbit (GEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and non-terrestrial networks. Its efficient modular design effectively meets rapidly changing market demands, while the software-defined phased array ensures reliable connectivity, facilitating seamless communication. This integration enables always-connected operation for enterprise networks, mobility, critical infrastructure, and emerging commercial use cases.
The passive antenna terminal combines Comtech's ELEVATE digital user terminal technology with TMYTEK's passive slotted-waveguide beamforming technology. The terminal enables efficient spectrum utilization while maintaining low power consumption suitable for the protection and monitoring of High Power Electrical Grids, critical infrastructure, and Defense applications. While delivering the same Gain as ESA antennas for the same surface area, the slotted-waveguide antenna consumes only 90% of the ESA required energy.
"Our partnership with TMYTEK started in 2025, within the Canada-Taiwan EUREKA Program," said Daniel Gizinski, President of Comtech's Satellite & Space Communications Segment. "This partnership has enabled us to bring Comtech's decades of differentiated expertise and industry leadership into state-of-the-art, complementary technology, for the benefit of our global customers."
The partnership between Comtech and TMYTEK represents a transformative leap in satellite communications," said Ethan Lin, Co-founder and Vice President of TMYTEK. "By offering both multi-orbit and flat antenna terminal solutions, we provide customers with greater flexibility, scalability, and performance across diverse deployment scenarios—from ground to sky."
Together, these solutions reflect the shared vision of Comtech and TMYTEK to deliver scalable, resilient, and easy-to-deploy satellite terminals that meet the demands of a rapidly evolving connected world. From enterprise-grade networking to remote IoT sites, this collaboration brings forward-looking integration and real-world reliability to the global satellite industry.
