Global Invacom and SatWave Arrays sign MoU for commercial production of next-generation multi-orbit flat panel antenna for Ka/Ku-band

Global Invacom Group Limited and Satwave Arrays Inc., a specialist in flat panel phased array satellite antennas, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to enable the commercial production of a multi-orbit Flat Panel Antenna (FPA) for Ka/Ku-band (“MoU”). Through the MoU, Global Invacom intends to bring to the market an innovative FPA which will be motorised, and will feature pan and tilt capability, enabling it to seamlessly switch between LEO, MEO and GEO orbits without signal loss, for enhanced operating flexibility and availability.

The MoU establishes a partnership under which Global Invacom and Satwave Arrays will jointly collaborate, integrating their technology to produce the next generation terminal. The resulting antenna will be compact, lightweight, and designed to withstand being in constant motion. It will also be ruggedized to meet the demands of defence and commercial applications where reliability and performance must be maintained even in the most challenging conditions.

Bob Potter, Chief Technology Officer at Global Invacom said: “Satellite users today, particularly in the defence sector but also in certain commercial applications, need the flexibility, resilience and security of being able to switch between orbits. While FPAs already on the market have enabled switching between LEO and MEO, moving from LEO to GEO without loss of signal strength has remained a challenge. With its groundbreaking motorised pan and tilt capability, this new FPA, which is the result of an exciting partnership between Global Invacom and Satwave Arrays, will solve that challenge, enabling it to seamlessly switch between LEO, MEO, and GEO orbits, without any signal degradation.”

Jimmy Strates, CTO, Satwave Arrays, added: “At Satwave Arrays, we’re committed to designing flat panel phased array satellite antennas that are built for performance and reliability, and engineered for to maintain robust connectivity under dynamic movement and challenging terrains. Through this partnership, we are marrying Global Invacom’s technology together with ours for a truly innovative next-gen FPA.”

Global Invacom team is introducing the new FPA at the SatShow Week 2026 in Washington D. C., United States of America.

The MoU is not expected to have any material impact on the consolidated net tangible assets per share and earnings per share of the Group for the financial year ending 31 December 2026.
