Overview
The Inster FoldSat LEO Ku OW is a uniquely designed, folding flat-panel satellite terminal built for teams operating beyond the reach of any terrestrial network. It integrates an Electronically Steered Array (ESA) terminal into a compact, foldable form factor and operates at full-duplex speeds over the Eutelsat OneWeb LEO constellation via Instelsat's FlexMove LEO services.
Available in both military (dark green) and commercial (white) variants, the FoldSat is carried by one person, sets up in minutes, runs on battery power, and delivers high-speed broadband for voice, video, data and imagery - in even the roughest environments.
