Satellite Ground Systems Market: Looking Up?Enabling Technology for the coming Mobile Broadband and NGSO SATCOM Services Market
Wednesday, 24 January, 2018, 0900-1015
• US Delaware-Corp, w/HQ in Washington, DC and Research &
Development Center in London
• Patented, tested Electronically Steerable Antenna (ESA),
using innovative chip (ASIC)-based technology,
software/digitally-controlled, modular system architecture
• Solid state reliability, convenient form factor, and easy
installation and maintenance for broadband mobility markets
• Product launch will be in Ku-Band, the dominant frequency
standard for mobility with satellite networks in-deployment
by the world’s largest FSS Operators
• Other Frequency Bands to follow, (Ka)
Phasor enables mobile-broadband communications while travelling at-sea, over land and in-flight

Introduction to Phasor
Introduction to Phasor
Demand Growth – Commercial Mobile Broadband
Supply Growth: Mobility-bandwidth capacity
• The Satellite industry is entering a phase of explosive growth in high-throughput SATCOM wireless communications:
• The world's leading providers of satellite services, Intelsat and Inmarsat, are early movers and have already launched High Throughput Satellites (HTS)
• SES/O3B, Eutelsat and other GEO satellite players are scheduled to increase capacity to meet the market demand
• Announced NGSO and Low-Earth Orbit Satellite (LEO) service companies including SpaceX, LeoSat, Telesat and OneWeb are also expected to participate in this market growth
Over $15B is being invested in high-through capacity over next 5 years
Access Technology is the Enabler
Evolution from Heavy Mechanized VSATs to lighter, streamlined ESAs
Next gen modified for Aero, but limited use, performance, applicability
Current gen improved for Aero, but still too bulky, heavy
ESAs are the Future of
Commercial Broadband
Initial Mobile Broadband Terminals large, heavy & bulky – targeted Maritime
Access Technology is the Key (Features and Benefits – The Phasor ESA)
Thin• Very Low Profile, (aerodynamic, inconspicuous)
• Superior Form-Factor, (smaller footprint, light-weight)
Reliable• Accurate, (faster scan, better tracking, fewer network drops)
• Robust, (solid-sate/no-moving parts, gradual degradation vs. total system failure)
Broadband• Delivers true Broadband Service, (supports networks > 100Mbs)
• Very High Gain (efficient, powerful)
Modular• Adaptable, (expandable to support wide requirements, lowering OpEx)
• Better Logistics-tail (easier, less costly & less timely to repair )
Versatile• Broad functionality, (multi-beam, flat or conformal, distributed or contiguous arrays, GEO or NGSO
• Dynamic control, (software-defined beam forming & tapering, Interference mitigation)
Breakthrough technology + industry standard processes
Single Panel / Core Module assembly
Each board supports up to ~500 antenna patch elements w/proprietary ASICs on the Top-Board
Control of individual ASICs performed locally
Similar design for Receive and Transmit
Phasor ESA Time to Market
Phasor will launch into specific market segments w/ leading industry partners
Market Introduction Plan: 2017 through 2019
• Commercial Maritime1
(e.g., Private Yacht, Cruise, Maritime Energy)
• Commercial Land Mobile1
(e.g., High-speed Rail, Commuter Rail, Intercity Bus)
• Commercial Aeronautical2
(e.g., General & Business Aviation, Regional & Long-haul Commercial Aviation)
• Defense & Government 1,2 – sea, air & land (e.g., COTM - Defense, Law Enforcement, Scientific, Humanitarian)

Platform Testing
The mobile broadband communications market is building momentum for
both Commercial Mobile Broadband and Government COTM markets
Passenger & crew requirements for ubiquitous broadband connectivity and
evolving aggregated Telematics needs, are driving demand geometrically
Industry is providing enormous new supply, specifically for these mobile
broadband markets. New FSS, HTS and LEO/MEO SATCOM systems will empower
these new global services
The current state of the art for ACCESS technology is woefully insufficient,
and inhibits adoption and growth of the market.
Electronically Steerable Antennas (ESAs) are the way forward
Industry & Investors are funding the development Phasor’s technology for
specific high-value, early-adopter user-markets
Phasor is uniquely well positioned to deliver differentiated technology to enterprise-grade, mobile broadband markets
