(TSXV: CMI), the world's leading provider of commercial grade auto-acquire mobile satellite antennas, announced today its first successful integration with Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite tracking capabilities. The test was completed with the C-COM iNetVu® FLY-981 Ku-band antenna and with Kepler Communications' first in orbit LEO satellites, KIPP and CASE. Kepler is a pioneering nano-satellite telecommunications company based in Toronto. During the store & forward tests, C-COM's FLY-981 antenna successfully acquired signal to Kepler's nanosats and achieved data transfer speeds of more than 100Mbps down and 30Mbps up.iNetVu® Flyaway Antenna System FLY-981 To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/5445/43635_0657c38ab44c8af9_005full.jpgShortly thereafter, the same data was downloaded to Kepler's teleport in Inuvik, Canada.This uniquely successful test completes a significant development project between the two companies. C-COM's engineering team developed the necessary tracking algorithms to work with the already globally renowned iNetVu 7000 series controllers, and Kepler provided access to their powerful LEO satellite constellation and assisted with daily testing. The iNetVu® FLY-981 is C-COM's 98cm, fully automatic and motorized Ku-band flyaway product. This antenna system is a highly portable terminal of choice for various industries such as Oil & Gas Exploration, Emergency Response, Military Communications, Cellular Backhaul, Satellite News Gathering, and many other vertical markets.\"For C-COM, this test with Kepler Communications LEO nano-satellites opens up new developing markets for our extensive worldwide reseller base,\" said Leslie Klein, President and CEO of C-COM Satellite Systems Inc. \"The store and forward data delivery services offered by Kepler's LEO constellation using our iNetVu® mobile antenna system's Low Earth Orbit option, will provide customers with a unique, cost-effective large data transfer capability,\" Klein continued. \"For Kepler, the addition of the C-COM FLY-981 as an approved satellite antenna solution expands the potential user base beyond maritime applications, to land-based mobile/trans...
