APEX Electronically Steered Antenna

APEX is Hanwha Phasor’s flagship electronically steered antenna (ESA) terminal, developed to provide reliable, low-profile satellite broadband connectivity for mobile platforms including aviation, maritime, rail, and land vehicles. Unlike traditional mechanically gimbaled satellite dishes, APEX uses a flat, low-profile phased-array panel built on the company’s proprietary silicon radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) technology, enabling electronic beam steering with no moving parts, reducing size, weight, power consumption, and long-term maintenance costs. The antenna is designed to seamlessly track and hand off between satellites across LEO, MEO, and GEO orbits, supporting multi-orbit constellations for continuous, resilient connectivity as customers’ networks transition to next-generation broadband constellations. Hanwha Phasor (formed from the 2023 acquisition of UK-based Phasor Solutions by Hanwha Systems) targets commercial aviation, defense, maritime shipping, and enterprise mobility customers who need compact, software-defined antenna terminals that can be manufactured at scale using standard semiconductor processes rather than expensive specialty RF materials.
