The company, which is currently installing four new antennas in Antarctica at the Troll ground station (pictured), is also adding several antennas in Hawaii, Alaska and the southeastern United States.
It announced that it is also expanding its footprint through other network partners to form a "Network of Networks."
Relationships have been established, the document says, with Microsoft Azure Orbital, AWS-GS (through their Solution Provider Program) and Contec Korea. All such sites and apertures are accessed via a common API, KSAT points out.
"KSAT's increased network presence will meet the growing demand for communications capabilities around the world and in the United States," KSAT USA Chairman Dan Adams. "We invest to meet unique mission requirements in the commercial, civil and defense segments."
Troll station
Located at 72′ South, the KSAT Troll ground station in Antarctica provides access to nearly all orbits from the Southern Hemisphere, the company said. The Svalbard ground station combined with the Troll ground station provides twice-per-orbit connections for most polar orbiting satellites.
In 2021, the company announced that it will build new antennas in the Antarctic region. In the summer, there is a four-month window to build such structures, top right. He plans for Antarctica KSAT to operate and host 23 such antennas, making the site the second-largest and fastest-growing station in the company's network.
The Norwegian Polar Institute is located in Antarctica throughout the year. at the Norwegian research station in Troll.
The KSAT Svalbard ground station is the world's largest satellite station, located at 78°N. in Norway. This is pictured on the right.
