New Contract Award
Filtronic wins EUR3.7 million payload development project with
the European Space Agency
Filtronic plc (AIM: FTC), the designer and manufacturer of
products and sub-systems for the aerospace, defence, telecoms
infrastructure and space markets , is pleased to announce a new
contract win to develop next generation space payload communication
systems for the European Space Agency (ESA).
The EUR3.7m (GBP3.2m) contract falls under ESA's Advanced
Research and Telecommunications Systems ("ARTES") programme for
"Space Deployment of 5G/6G and Sustainable Connectivity". Under the
contract, Filtronic will develop a series of advanced mmWave
products to enable broadband connectivity from low earth orbit
("LEO") satellites to receiving ground stations. The programme,
which is part of the business forecast for FY2024, will begin
immediately with the development of design concepts and prototypes
during the current financial year, with the final hardware
deliverable by 31 March 2025.
The ARTES programme will utilise Filtronic's existing core IP,
together with established expertise in design and qualification of
mmWave telecommunication technology, including the recent
development of advanced solid state power amplifiers ("SSPAs") for
the first LEO E-band ground station trials. The ARTES programme is
fully supported by the UK Space Agency, and it aligns with the UK
Government's stated goal of getting UK suppliers to play a
significant role in the future of global telecommunication
infrastructure.
Satellite operators are progressively turning to Ka, Q/V and
W-band frequencies to deliver the ultra-high bandwidth data links
needed for the specific requirements of LEO space communications.
Filtronic is well-positioned to adapt existing telecommunications
technology, manufactured in commercial volumes to meet this
demand.
Richard Gibbs, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We are
delighted to work with ESA on this important development at the
leading edge of LEO space communications. The LEO space market is
developing fast and the need for higher bandwidth links between
satellites and the ground station is inevitable. Working with ESA
to develop products at multiple frequencies, that can be supplied
as part of next generation LEO constellations, is both timely and
strategically important for Filtronic".
