Notice Title
C20242231 Small Transportable Satellite Monitoring Solution for Ka and Ku Band
Notice Description
Due to the ongoing deployment of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) non-geostationary satellite orbit (NGSO) constellations, Ofcom has a requirement for a mobile satellite monitoring solution. This will provide Ofcom with the ability to track and monitor LEO satellites operating above the United Kingdom. We will need the ability to monitor NGSO satellites operating in Ku and Ka bands and as a minimum this must be able to track satellites from 300 elevation through to 300 elevation on the opposite horizon (1200 total tracking as a minimum). The solution will need to be able to be capable of operating around 3600 azimuth, meaning that we can monitor NGSO satellites at any azimuth compared to the antenna system.
