Viasat and QEST explore joint development of X/Ka-band airborne antenna system

Viasat and QEST are collaborating to explore development of a dual X-band and Ka-band airborne antenna system for defense aviation connectivity.
The work includes integrating QEST’s X-band aperture technology into Viasat’s Global Aero Terminal 5530 by replacing the existing Ku-band aperture.
The companies are evaluating an X/Ka terminal option within Viasat’s Hybrid SATCOM Approach platform to support operations across commercial and military satellite constellations.
Jason Sabol said the collaboration is intended to assess expanding the GAT5530 platform to support additional frequency bands.
Dr. Phillip Mayer said the companies plan to jointly develop an X/Ka-capable aviation terminal and assess future demonstrations.
