C-COM To Showcase New Ka-Band Beamformer IC At Mobile World Congress 2026
C-COM Satellite Systems Inc. (“C-COM” or “the Company”), a leading global provider of advanced mobile auto-deploying satellite antenna systems, today announced that it will be exhibiting its newly developed 8-channel Ka-band Analog Beamformer Integrated Circuit (BFIC) at the Mobile World Congress (MWC), taking place March 2-5, 2026, in Barcelona, Spain.
The BFIC will be showcased in the Ontario/Canada Pavilion, Hall 7 (Booth # 7H45), Kiosk #8. C-COM’s Chief Technology Officer, Bilal Awada, will be in attendance and available to discuss the performance advantages and commercial opportunities enabled by this highly efficient beamformer solution.
C-COM’s cost-effective transmit and receive BFICs are being developed for integration with the iNetVu iNmotion series of multi-orbit electronically steered antennas (ESA). Optimized for flat-panel satellite antennas, the BFIC delivers enhanced phase control, reduced power consumption, and a lower overall system cost—key enablers for next-generation satellite communications.
“C-COM’s continued investment in ESA and Beamformer IC (BFIC) technologies is expected to play a key role in the evolution of mobile connectivity across land, airborne, and maritime applications as well as mobile defense communication systems.” said Dr. Leslie Klein, President and CEO of C-COM Satellite Systems Inc. “These advancements are designed to expand our addressable markets and enhance long-term shareholder value.”
About C-COM Satellite Systems Inc.
C-COM Satellite Systems Inc. is a pioneer and a leading global designer, developer, and manufacturer of transportable and mobile satellite-based antenna systems. The Company has developed proprietary, auto-acquisition controller technology for rapid antenna pointing to a satellite with just the press of a button, enabling Broadband Internet via Satellite acrossa wide range of market applications worldwide, including regions unserved or underserved by terrestrial access technologies.
C-COM has sold more than 11,000 antenna systems, in over 100 countries, through a dedicated dealer network that provides service to a wide range of vertical markets such as Oil and Gas Exploration, Military Communications, Disaster Management, SNG, Emergency Communications, Cellular Backhaul, Telemedicine, Mobile Education, Government Services, Mobile Banking, and others. The Company's iNetVu brand is synonymous with high quality, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
C-COM is in the final stages of satellite testing and manufacturing of a potentially revolutionary Ka-band, Multiorbit, electronically steerable, modular, conformal, flat panel phased array antenna. C-COM has developed this unique multi-orbit antenna with the intent of providing low-cost, high-throughput mobility applications over satellite for land, airborne and maritime verticals over LEO, MEO and GEO satellite constellations.
Another significant project underway at C-COM is the completion of the development of an 8-Channel Ka-band Analog Beamforming Integrated Circuit, (BFIC), which is progressing well and is now in testing phase. These BFICs will be used in the manufacturing of all our ESA antennas with the intent to significantly reduce their cost and improve their performance and will also be made available for sale.
