23 September 2025 – AvL Technologies and Telesat Government Solutions, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Telesat, announce the successful field demonstration of AvL’s 1.35-meter XY antenna terminal on Telesat’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) demonstration satellite. The testing, conducted at Telesat’s Allan Park teleport, validated the terminal’s capability to operate seamlessly across LEO, Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), and Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites using a single, compact platform. Throughout the week-long campaign, the AvL terminal consistently acquired and tracked Telesat’s GEO satellite (Anik F3), followed by successful acquisition of their LEO 3 demonstration satellite. Additional testing validated connectivity and tracking of MEO satellites. These results underscore the terminal’s readiness for dynamic, multi-orbit environments and its suitability for a wide range of mission-critical applications. Read more
