Calian Group Ltd. (TSX: CGY), a trusted provider of mission-critical solutions for defence, space, healthcare, and other critical infrastructure sectors, today announced it has been awarded a contract by a leading global space technology company for the design and manufacturing of four KaQV-band RF gateway ground stations to support the roll-out of services for two state-of-the-art geostationary satellites.
The gateways will form the critical ground infrastructure linking the new satellites to terrestrial networks, enabling reliable, secure, high-capacity government communications across a wide geographical area that includes Africa, Europe, and Asia. In support of delivering on the contract, Calian will deliver four 10-metre Ka/Q/V-band gateway antennas along with the radio frequency equipment, and monitoring and control systems in the middle east. Once complete, the satellites will deliver next-generation, sovereign connectivity for secure government communications.
"We are proud to support this important program, enabling secure and high-performance connectivity across three continents," said Chris Pogue, President Defence and Space, Calian. "This win demonstrates our position as world leaders in providing advanced ground satellite solutions and highlights the strength of Canadian engineering in delivering end-to-end ground infrastructure that meets the most demanding technical and mission-critical requirements."
