[Information & Communication Newspaper = Reporter Lee Min-gyu] Global Konet Inc. (CEO: Kim Yeon-gon), a company specializing in flat-panel satellite antennas, announced that it recently signed a contract for the development of an overseas ESA KU/KA antenna for aerospace applications. This is the first time a domestic company has signed a contract for the development of overseas ESA KU/KA antennas. Global Konet declared its ambition to become a global leader in the drone and aerospace data link market, using this contract as a stepping stone. The antenna to be developed under this contract weighs only 700g for the panel, with a total weight of 2kg including the modem. This ultra-compact and ultra-lightweight design is one of the key advantages of the newly developed antenna. Additionally, this antenna is gaining attention as a next-generation solution with real-time satellite data transmission capabilities. It also incorporates innovative cooling-based technology that solves heat dissipation issues, enabling stable long-term operation with low power consumption. To facilitate mass production for the new business, Global Konet has established production facilities and dedicated chambers. The company plans to expand joint development projects with overseas defense companies in the future. Kim Yeon-gon, CEO of Global Konet, stated, “This order is a remarkable achievement that recognizes our outstanding technology in the overseas market. We will solidify our position in the drone data link sector and step up as a global leader.” Source: Information & Communication Newspaper (https://www.koit.co.kr)
