Spotlight on Customer Success
EIRSAT-1 Satellite Mission
Space is a hostile environment. An antenna must withstand the shock, acoustic vibrations, and sudden atmospheric pressure fall during strenuous launch and eject phases while continuing to perform with high-temperature changes and solar radiation. The EIRSAT-1 team selected a Taoglas GPS/GALILEO patch antenna for its lightweight and low-volume characteristics while ensuring high gain and wide bandwidth.
“The quality of what you put into space is paramount – everything must be 100% QC tested and the absolute best quality. You need to know that what you put up there will not fail you when you most need it. We required a GNSS antenna solution that could withstand the extreme conditions of space while reliably locating the satellite’s scientific measurements in orbit. Taoglas provided the ideal solution with their direct solder mount GNSS antenna, demonstrating the innovation and precision necessary for this pioneering mission.”
- Dr. Ronan Wall, EIRSAT-1 Project Manager
Parrot ANAFI USA Drone
Every ounce counts on a drone. Weight is a decisive factor in how long and how far an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) can fly. Market-leader Parrot selected a Taoglas passive patch antenna on their ANAFI USA drone. By designing in a lightweight and energy-efficient Taoglas antenna, the ANAFI USA drone can carry bigger payloads and fly longer.
“The reasons why we chose Taoglas are the quality of their antennas and their ability to tune an existing antenna in the mechanics of the product and to make it on a large scale for mass production.”
-Meryam Abou El Anouar, Technical Leader for RF & Connectivity, Parrot
