SmartLITE brings HiSKY's satellite communications technology to platforms where size, weight, power and deployment scale matter. This system overview introduces a complete solution built around the terminal, hub and network management system.
Harsh conditions and contested environments place demanding requirements on satellite communications. ForceLITE is HiSKY's rugged defense system, combining compact, low SWaP terminals with sovereign connectivity for platforms operating in the field.
HiSKY builds end-to-end satellite communication systems that keep drones, vehicles and other beyond-line-of-sight platforms connected wherever they operate. Our small, low-power Ku/Ka-band terminals, hub and network management system give customers a fully sovereign, private network that they control end to end.
One core. Two systems. Explore HiSKY's satellite communications portfolio, from the SmartLITE system for industrial applications to the ForceLITE system for defense requirements.
Different missions share a demanding communications challenge. Discover HiSKY value, bringing a complete terminal, hub and network management architecture with GPS-independent operation, multi-orbit redundancy and capabilities designed to reduce detection and resist jamming. In-house development enables platform customization, while continued engagement with operators supports the system throughout its life cycle.
More bandwidth, less size, weight and power. Meet VEGA 8x8 Ka, a compact terminal in HiSKY's SmartLITE portfolio for small platforms that need secure, long-range satellite communications. This short product introduction highlights the balance between connectivity requirements and the limited space and power available on compact platforms.
When every gram and every watt counts, small platforms still need dependable connectivity. VEGA 8x8 Ku brings secure, long-range satellite communications to crewed and uncrewed platforms in a compact form.
Your platform got smaller. Your bandwidth requirements did not. ALTAIR 16x8 Ku addresses that challenge with reliable, long-range satellite communications and a focus on reducing size, weight and power. This short overview introduces ALTAIR within the HiSKY SmartLITE terminal portfolio for platforms that need satellite connectivity within a limited installation footprint.
Continuous connectivity is a mission requirement, even when the field leaves little room for bulky equipment. Meet SIRIUS 16x16 Ku, part of HiSKY's SmartLITE satellite terminal portfolio.
Meet CASTOR 8x16 Ku, a rugged satellite terminal in HiSKY's ForceLITE defense portfolio. Designed for demanding field conditions, CASTOR combines secure, sovereign connectivity with a compact form for platform integration.
Secure, sovereign command and control on the move. ORION 16x16 Ku is a rugged terminal in HiSKY's ForceLITE defense portfolio, built for platforms operating in harsh environments.
Beyond the coastal horizon, cellular coverage and line-of-sight radio can no longer support a vessel's communications needs. This sea use case shows how HiSKY connects crewed and uncrewed vessels and offshore platforms through a private GEO satellite network.
What happens when GPS is jammed or spoofed? HiSKY's GSPS approach uses the GEO SATCOM terminal already installed on a platform to support positioning, reducing the need for a separate positioning system. This use case explains how a software-enabled upgrade combines satellite observations with the platform's mission computer and IMU.
When terrestrial communications drop, commanders can lose visibility of their teams. This use case presents HiSKY's compact, body-worn satellite terminal with embedded edge AI for dismounted forces. The terminal filters sensor, voice and mission data at the operator, sending mission-critical information over a private GEO network for blue force tracking and real-time alerts.
A border sensor is only useful if its alerts reach command. Where cellular coverage and radio links are unavailable, HiSKY satellite connectivity helps connect remote border fence sensors without relying on new cable routes or communications towers.
Connecting an entire UAV swarm beyond radio line of sight takes more than a link to each aircraft. This use case presents HiSKY's approach to continuous command and control, telemetry and mission data across a private satellite network.
Rugged terrain and limited infrastructure can leave mobile forces disconnected from command. This tactical SATCOM use case shows how a roof-mounted SmartLITE Ku 16x16 terminal turns a command vehicle into a mobile communications node.
The operational risk of losing connectivity. The film establishes why a reliable communications link is essential to mission success.
