ARLINGTON, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cobham congratulates its partner, OneWeb Satellites, on the successful
launch of the first satellites of an ambitious 600 spacecraft
constellation. Incorporating rigid and flexible designs, Cobham
Ku and Ka band waveguides are featured on the spacecraft. Waveguides
enable the communications systems on the satellites by channeling
electromagnetic waves from one point to another. OneWeb Satellites, a
joint venture between OneWeb and Airbus, is launching a constellation of
satellites into low Earth orbit to deliver internet broadband service to
consumers around the world.

“Cobham is honored to be part of this historic endeavor and
congratulates the OneWeb team on its inaugural launch. We are proud to
help bring the vision of connectivity for everyone, everywhere closer to
reality,” said Bob McArthur, Vice President and General Manager, CNI and
Interconnect Solutions for Cobham Advanced Electronics Solutions.
“Cobham has a long history of engineering some of the most complex and
challenging space technologies in the industry. Cobham
waveguides offer innovative solutions with complex shaping and
incorporate high electrical performance. Our ability to provide custom
bracketry and accommodate complex geometries enables ease of integration
and rapid turnaround times.”

Cobham offers a full range of rectangular
(size WR-22 to WR430) and double
ridge (WRD-180 to WR430) waveguides, supporting industry-standard
microwave tests and measurements for low- and high-power laboratory
applications. In addition, Cobham can create assemblies of passive and
active microwave and coaxial components to custom specifications,
allowing the development and production of complete modular
transmit/receive devices. Cobham specializes in custom bracketry and
integrated waveguides from cast to 3D printed to hybrid.
