The type approval allows the iNetVu Ka-75V mobile antenna system to operate on ViaSat’s Exede professional Ka-band high-capacity satellite service covering the United States. C-Com CTO Bilal Awada said his company had been working closely with ViaSat over the last year to ensure full compatibility with the Exede service and to develop required communication interface between ViaSat’s broadband modem and the iNetVu Ka-75cm auto-pointing antenna.

   “The iNetVu systems have been in Beta testing with ViaSat for more than six months and have met all required mechanical, optical, and RF performance requirements with great level of pointing accuracy and repeatability,” Awada said in a statement.

   C-Com said it already delivered a number of iNetVu Ka-75V mobile antenna systems to ViaSat and that it soon expects production rollout with immediate availability.
