Products & Services

The focus of our presentation at IAC Paris 2022 will lie on the further developments of our state-of-the-art radio communication solutions.

We will showcase InCommand, a low cost, lightweight system for instant tasking of cubesats and small leo satellites, which we recently launched together with Inmarsat. InCommand provides a global tasking capability via Inmarsat’s ELERA L-band GEO satellites using our XLink SDR platform.

One and a half years ago, we started to cooperate with WORK Microwave and recently agreed to further intensify our successful cooperation. One achievement of this partnership is one of the world's first end-to-end CubeSat solutions supporting satellite communications for both ground and space segments.

Our experts will demonstrate how customers can benefit from this fully-featured bidirectional communication system with a seamless connection between IQ spacecom's XLink SDR platform and WORK Microwave's AX-60 IP ground modem.


XLink SDR Platform

XLink is an advanced transceiver system for X, S or L band communication links of small satellites in LEO environment. The mechanical dimensions fit for 1U CubeSat as well as for larger satellites. The radio interface and protocol are developed according to standard CCSDS and DVB-S2 protocols. (XLink is developed in cooperation with TU Berlin)

XLink SDR Platform

End-to-end CubeSat solution

As one of the world’s first end-to-end CubeSat solutions, it supports satellite communications for both ground and space segments.

By combining the powerful XLink SDR Platform with WORK Microwave’s AX-60 IP modem, operators have an affordable, one-stop-shop solution for new space applications, including low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite missions for Earth observation.

InCommand with XLink-L

InCommand service is able to provide dynamic affordable and real-time L-Band capacity for LEO satellites anywhere on the globe. It provides operational efficient communication links for time-sensitive applications such as Earth Observation (EO) or spacecraft operations via Inmarsat’s geostationary ELERA network. No additional ground network infrastructure is required. We have designed, implemented, and tested the first XLink L-Band transceiver that will use the Inmarsat’s InCommand service.
