SWISSto12 and UNIVITY have completed a critical design review for two satellite antennas, allowing the designs to advance toward hardware production, verification and acceptance testing. The systems are intended for UNIVITY's 5G demonstration satellites. One antenna is designed to connect standard 5G smartphones directly to satellites. The other operates at 26 GHz to support broadband and links to ground infrastructure. Combining them would let telecom operators offer both services under their own brands. The milestone does not demonstrate operational connectivity in orbit.
