ST Engineering iDirect has developed a new technology that allows for seamless tracking and switching between Geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO) and Non-Geosynchronous Earth orbit (NGSO) satellites. This groundbreaking technology features a single tracking algorithm that offers operators more flexibility and better connectivity in challenging environments. It is currently being tested with a major satellite operator and enables services beyond GEO for true multi-orbit connectivity, particularly benefiting industries like aviation and maritime. The technology uses an innovative tracking algorithm to provide frequency and timing compensation for satellites in all orbits, enabling intelligent switching based on optimized service characteristics. This ensures fast and seamless transitions between satellite orbits while maintaining continuous service for end-users. ST Engineering iDirect’s dynamic beam mapping technology also ensures rapid network acquisition and reliable beam switching. Sridhar Kuppanna, Senior Vice President of Engineering at ST Engineering iDirect, expressed pride in leading this breakthrough, stating that the technology sets a new standard for flexibility, scalability, and performance in meeting the demands of the connected world. The multi-orbit tracking and switching technology is already available for customers on ST Engineering iDirect’s Velocity platform and will soon be available on Intuition, their next-generation cloud-native satellite ground system.
