At the 2024 China Unicom Partner Conference · Digital Intelligence Innovation Forum, Unicom Hangmei introduced a phased array antenna product called the "Navigator Satellite Communication Terminal." The introductory price is set at 39,800 yuan, available exclusively for personal users.
Wu Yuezhou, Vice President of Unicom Hangmei, stated that phased array antennas are the optimal standard for geostationary satellites. According to relevant reports, the market is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, reaching 5.36 billion USD by 2030. With the advent of the 5G era, the performance requirements for satellite communication antennas continue to increase. Phased array antennas offer advantages such as rapid phase changes and high scanning speeds, while being compact, lightweight, and suitable for mass production. These attributes make them a significant trend in the development of satellite communication antennas.
Wu Yuezhou emphasized that the phased array antenna boasts features like faster satellite acquisition, stronger interference resistance, lighter weight, smaller size, and broader application scenarios, making it suitable for use in land, marine, and aviation environments.
