High- Throughput Satellite Connectivity for the Constant Contact Vehicle

The modern automobile is an artificial intelligence computer requiring constant contact with data networks to upload vehicle data and maintain the processing platform with software and firmware updates. 5G roll-out must include non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) to augment terrestrial cellular networks and achieve constant contact. We have commercialized a satellite vehicle terminal based on a novel, flat-panel, electronically scanned, meta materials antenna technology (MSAT) that makes high-throughput satellite connectivity to the consumer automobile a practical reality.
