Isotropic Systems Limited (ISL) has raised an additional $1M in funding to revolutionize satellite antenna technology for high throughput connectivity in mobility markets. ISL will design and develop antennas that address the most common operational challenges - efficiency, cost, form factor and durability.
As advances in high throughput satellites and constellations continue to drive demand for high capacity data on the move, a new range of low profile antennas, with no moving parts, exceptional spectral efficiency, at low price prices is required. The existing antennas, based on phased array and metamaterial technologies continue to lack spectral and/or power efficiency, scalability, to meet the business requirements for the mobility sector.
ISL's antenna will be one of the first truly 'broadband' low-profile antenna with fully electronic beam steering, easily scalable to effective apertures and can be designed to match almost any desired form factor. Designed for satellite broadcast, VSAT, microwave, multipoint wireless and 5G broadband communications, the antennas are low cost and have no moving parts to adhere to the stability requirements of mobility.
They will initially focus on broadcast and VSAT applications in the satellite industry, partnering with the world's leading scientists and engineers in the field of antenna design, further refining ISL's scientific discoveries that hold the promise of a new paradigm in antenna performance.
The core of our technology is the adaptable form factor, simple manufacturing and significantly lower cost. This will enable users to access a wide variety of mobile, portable and fixed satellite services going well beyond the capabilities of existing antenna solutions.
