hiSky’s FCC certification of Smartellite™ fixed KA terminal completes qualification of Smartellite™ 8×8 terminal family

July 11, 2023

hiSky Ltd., provider of IoT satellite communication solutions, has been granted FCC certification for its Smartellite™ Fixed KA terminal. This certification marks a milestone for hiSky, as it completes FCC certifications for the entire Smartellite™ 8X8 terminal family, including the Fixed Ka, Dynamic Ka, Fixed Ku, and Dynamic Ku 8X8 terminals.

The FCC certification for the Smartellite™ Fixed KA terminal signifies compliance with stringent regulatory standards, ensuring optimal performance, reliability, and safety. With this certification, hiSky reinforces its commitment to delivering high-quality satellite communication solutions that meet the highest industry standards.

The Smartellite™ 8X8 terminal family encompasses a range of cutting-edge satellite communication solutions designed to cater to various applications and user requirements. The completion of FCC certifications for the entire terminal family highlights hiSky’s dedication to providing versatile and compliant communication solutions for customers across different industries, in partnership with various global satellite operators.

The Smartellite™ Fixed Ka terminal comprises patch antennas and a built-in MODEM, providing a rigidized, all-in-one solution. The design allows independent configuration and installation by the end-user. This small factor terminal directs communication through GEO satellites, ensuring minor movement caused by wind does not affect connectivity, lowering yearly maintenance costs. Now obtaining FCC certification, the Smartellite™ Fixed KA terminal joins the lineup of certified Smartellite™ terminals.

The inclusive FCC certification of all hiSky’s Smartellite™ 8X8 terminal family ensures that customers can deploy hiSky’s terminals that meet the strict regulatory requirements set by the FCC.

To support mass production, hiSky has partnered with Jabil Italy, a manufacturing company with expertise in delivering high-quality electronic products. This collaboration ensures efficient and scalable production of the Smartellite™ terminals, enabling broader availability and faster deployment of global networks.

“We are delighted to announce the FCC certification for our Smartellite™ Fixed KA terminal, completing the FCC certifications for the entire Smartellite™ 8X8 terminal family,” said Gal Diamant, COO at hiSky Ltd. “These certifications signify our dedication to delivering reliable, compliant, and high-performance satellite communication solutions. Together with our newly added production lines in Jabil Italy, we can now ensure the standard, cost reduction and availability our global partners and customers are expecting”.
