NXT Communications Corporation (NXTCOMM) has signed a capacity agreement with Eutelsat Communications for capacity on Eutelsat’s E117WA satellite, aimed to provide the Over-The-Air Testing of NXTCOMM’s proprietary flat-panel terminals that will offer high-speed connectivity to aviation, military and other mobility markets. 

In June, NXTCOMM unveiled its new Electronically Steered Antenna (ESA), a building block for a portfolio of next-generation, lower-cost commercial satellite antennas designed to meet global demand for cost-effective worldwide mobile connectivity.

Under the agreement, NXTCOMM will also offer satellite capacity to customers seeking a differentiated connectivity experience not available from existing service providers.

NXTCOMM will lease capacity on EUTELSAT 117 West A, located at 116.8° West, which offers high-power Ku-band coverage over North and South America. 

Tim Morton, co-founder and president, NXTCOMM, commented:  “Eutelsat has proven to be  an ideal partner to help us get our new technology to market, and to help NXTCOMM validate the performance of our best-in-class antenna technology and to provide ongoing managed satellite service capacity to our customers as we scale production of our game-changing flat panel antennas.”

Mike Antonovich, CEO of Eutelsat Americas, added: “We are delighted to support NXTCOMM during the critical test and implementation phase of their high-performance antenna, and look forward to supporting them for many years into the future as they develop their unique mobility solutions.”

NXTCOMM’s ongoing over-the-air performance tests will kick off in November followed by full antenna testing and initial low-rate production in 2021, with Ka-band product testing to begin later in the year.

LexisNexis Risk Solutions Introduces Recall Clarity Helping Automakers Identify, Locate and Contact Current Owners of Recalled Vehicles

LexisNexis® Risk Solutions, a leading provider of data, analytics, and technology for automakers and insurers, today announced the launch of LexisNexis® Recall Clarity(TM), a solution that assists auto manufacturers in the owner identification process for safety-related recalls. According to the NHTSA, over 1,000 recalls were issued in 2018 affecting more than 35 U.S. million motorists. In the event of a recall, customer outreach teams are tasked with getting vehicles repaired by finding recalled vehicle owners and leading them to the dealership for service. This process has become increasingly more difficult due to changes in vehicle ownership on secondary markets. With more than 40 million used cars sold in the U.S. each year, compounded by the fact that more than 45 million people move each year, the need for an efficient way of notifying the owner of a recall, which in some cases can be life-threatening, is crucial.
