Safran DSI - KapCOM K/Ka-Band Transceiver CCSDS
- Compact Design: Ideal for mini and micro satellites
- Long Lifetime: 7 year-lifetime in Low Earth Orbit missions
- COTS Design: Radiation tested and hardened, ITAR free
Our K / Ka-Band Transceiver CCSDS, KapCOM, comes as a new generation of transceivers to implement high performance Telemetry, Tracking and Control (TT&C) service. KapCOM was designed for and is used on OneWeb GEN1 constellation. It is also based on the heritage of the EWC15 Transceiver that have been used over the two last decades in key space missions such as ROSETTA, DEEP IMPACT, PARASOL, MICROSCOPE, etc.
Our K / Ka-Band Transceiver CCSDS, KapCOM, has been especially designed to achieve top-class performances in terms of Tx/Rx communication links (fully CCSDS compliant), power consumption and radiation tolerance. A smart communication protocol has been introduced in order to achieve a fast signal acquisition: on-board & ground station sweep / lock on CW.
Thanks to a very compact and optimized form factor which includes a built-in DC-DC converter, the KapCom addresses natively any implementation within Mini or Micro satellites contributing to the global satellite integration optimization
