Intellian revealed Monday that the company is finishing production of dedicated, Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite user terminals for
OneWeb. Intellian originally partnered with OneWeb in 2019 to build terminals, and the companies restarted their prior agreement after OneWeb emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Intellian’s agreement with OneWeb is for the production of a wide range of dedicated OneWeb user terminal types with a variety of antenna sizes. These terminals are designed to serve sectors including cellular backhaul, enterprise, rural broadband, telecommunications, telemedicine, schools, hospitals, agriculture, mining, government, and maritime — including merchant shipping, oil and gas exploration, leisure or fishing. Additionally, this partnership will allow current Intellian customers to use existing Intellian NX series terminals by incorporating an option to upgrade them to operate on OneWeb’s LEO constellation in the future.
