IT Home reported on July 22 that on July 20, China Unicom Hangmei's satellite communication product "Navigator Phased Array" was officially released at the 2024 China Unicom Partner Conference at the Shanghai World Expo Center. It can be used in my country's medium and low orbit satellite communication field. The suggested retail price is 59,800 yuan.The first special price is 39,800 yuan (only for individual customers)

Exclusive for the first 100 units:

  • Pre-sale terminals can be returned without reason within six months from the date of receipt if they are not damaged by human factors. They contain 1GB of traffic and are valid for 6 months. If returned, they will be considered as free trials.

  • For users who do not return the product, 3GB of data will be given starting from the seventh month after receipt, valid for 6 months


IT Home learned from the official that the "Navigator Phased Array" product,It can meet the access needs of inland China (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) and some offshore areas.Before the product was released, the sports car was tested in all provincial administrative regions in China except Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Ningxia, Shanghai and Chongqing, with a total mileage of nearly 20,000 kilometers, which took 2 months. The product has been continuously improved through 2 iterations and adjustments to meet more stringent usage scenarios.


Product Highlights

Product Performance

The electronic scanning technology is used to achieve rapid scanning of the beam. Compared with traditional mechanical scanning, it can change the beam direction more quickly and improve target tracking. It can form multiple independent beams at the same time to perform search, identification, and tracking respectively.

Stronger anti-interference

The electronic scanning characteristics of the phased array make it more anti-interference and able to maintain performance in complex environments. The baseband system supports spread spectrum technology, which effectively solves the problem of substandard demodulation threshold and envelope spectrum density caused by terminal miniaturization.

Lighter weight

The first miniaturized civilian phased array satellite terminal in China uses TR components to replace traditional BUC, LNB and other devices, greatly reducing the weight of the equipment, with the weight of the whole machine as low as 2.26KG

Smaller size

The overall size is 263x238x42mm, which is easy to store, carry, install and carry by one person

Wider application scenarios

Features such as miniaturization, light weight, and low power consumption greatly expand the application scenarios, such as scenarios with strict restrictions on the size and weight of satellite communication equipment.

Stronger compatibility

Supports high-orbit satellite and low-orbit satellite communications; tracking algorithms, polarization, and switching algorithms; after OTA software update, you can access the low-orbit satellite constellation and enjoy a high-bandwidth experience; supports single Beidou positioning.



Applications

Land applications:

By installing a phased array satellite communication terminal on the roof, communication connection with the satellite can be achieved, satellite tracking can be maintained during high-speed movement, and high-speed, high-bandwidth, and high-reliability network connection can be achieved. Both high-orbit and low-orbit satellites can be used.

Through the vehicle network, various systems and devices inside the vehicle are connected to achieve data transmission and sharing. Using technologies such as vehicle Ethernet and Wi-Fi, a stable and reliable Internet network is built to support the access and data transmission of multiple devices.

By installing a data acquisition module on the vehicle, the vehicle's operating data, such as speed, fuel consumption, driving trajectory, etc., is collected and uploaded to the cloud via a satellite link for analysis and processing, providing a reference for vehicle maintenance and repair and more accurate vehicle management and services.

Marine Applications:

Unmanned boats: meet the needs of marine environment monitoring, marine resource exploration, marine investigation and research, maritime rescue, marine facility inspection, and military patrol and reconnaissance. They transmit video image information (combined with super video compression equipment), IoT perception information and other data in real time. The monitoring center can grasp the front-end situation in real time, analyze and study the collected data information, and then make command decisions.

Offshore buoys: meet the needs of sea area monitoring, hydrological and meteorological observation, and waterway indication and warning. Video image information (combined with super video compression equipment), hydrological and meteorological information and other data are transmitted back in real time. The monitoring center can grasp the front-end situation in real time, and can transmit the indication and warning information to the front-end display or shouting equipment through text or voice.

Aviation Applications:

Application of load-carrying drones: In emergency rescue scenarios, load-carrying material delivery drones can quickly reach designated locations to deliver emergency materials. Based on the optoelectronic pod equipment, video data can be transmitted back to grasp the landing environment in real time to ensure safe landing in non-visual range.

Inspection and reconnaissance drones: meet the needs of agricultural, forest, coastal and border inspections. Computer vision is used to replace manual decision-making, and deep learning technology is combined to extract and classify features of targets in the field of view, efficiently identify targets of interest, and effectively enhance the autonomy and intelligence level of the drone system. Through the real-time transmission of target information by super video real-time compression equipment, the monitoring center can grasp the inspection situation in real time and assist in decision-making.
