Why Q-band — and why now?

Q/V-band frequencies are opening new frontiers in satellite communications — however, this frequency is more susceptible to weather interference than lower frequency bands . That’s where Orbital Research comes in.

Our advanced Q-band technologies are engineered for high performance and data throughput, even under the most demanding conditions.

  • Uncongested spectrum: With Ka-band nearing saturation, Q-band delivers the bandwidth required for terabit-class data rates.
  • Rising demand: GEO and LEO satellite systems alike are adopting Q-band for a growing range of applications. One of the most urgent is establishing high-throughput feeder links between LEO constellations and terrestrial internet infrastructure.
  • Exceptional performance: Our solutions are built for mission-critical reliability — even in the most demanding conditions.
