FLAT PANEL SATCOM
The LITE SAT Putter is a compact, electronically steered antenna (ESA) system designed to deliver reliable satellite communications in a lightweight, low-profile form factor. As part of Lite Coms’ early-generation ESA portfolio, the Putter provides a simplified and proven solution for missions where portability, ease of use, and rapid deployment are key.
Designed for operation across multiple satellite networks, the system enables users to establish connectivity quickly without mechanical pointing. Its compact architecture and reduced SWaP profile make it ideal for applications where space and weight constraints are critical.
