ThinKom’s ThinAir Nexus phased-array satellite antenna

SES has approved ThinKom Solutions’ ThinAir Ka2517 phased-array antenna for communications on the SES Open Orbits satellite network. The antenna allows for multi-orbit satcom on SES’ geostationary satellites and O3b Classic and mPower NGSO constellations, when paired with Rave Aerospace’s ModMan dual modem.

At the Aircraft Interiors Expo this week in Hamburg, Germany, ThinKom introduced another multi-orbit-capable antenna, the ThinAir Nexus, which has about the same footprint as a single-constellation electronically steered satcom antenna. Nexus will support geostationary and mid-and low-earth-orbit networks and will be available in the fourth quarter of 2027.
