On June 28, 2022, SatixFy, supported by the UK Space Agency ("UKSA") and the European Space Agency ("ESA"), using the OneWeb constellation, successfully demonstrated a high-speed low-latency 5G-enabled link with a LEO satellite via its fully electronically steered multi-beam multi-orbit antenna terminal

SatixFy Communications Ltd. ("SatixFy"), a leader in next-generation satellite communication systems based on in-house developed chipsets, ahead of the 73^rd International Astronautical Congress 2022, is highlighting the potential for its technology to play a key role in the development of direct-to-cell satellite 5G services. This is a rapidly emerging area of satellite communications in which SatixFy believes it can play an important role in moving the technology forward in the coming years.

Last month SpaceX announced a partnership with T-Mobile to provide basic text service across parts of the U.S. where terrestrial service is not available. In July, Thales, Ericsson and Qualcomm announced a partnership to develop 5G non-terrestrial networks using low-Earth orbit ("LEO") satellites. In addition, last week Huawei announced its first handset with satellite capability, the Mate 50 series, which can send text messages using satellites. While these offerings provide basic direct-to-cell satellite service for text messaging services, full-scale voice and data services desired by consumers that are expected to follow will require the use of advanced chip technologies to address current limitations.

Specific challenges in delivering the higher levels of service include 1) the requirement of large antennas in space with high directivity to both capture the small signal emitted by a cell phone and provide a sizeable coverage area, 2) the need for a large number of pointing beams for antennas to service many devices, and 3) the requirement of large constellations of LEO satellites to provide global coverage to cellular users. For example, new LEO constellations, like the SpaceX Gen 2 Starlink satellites, utilize large antennas and will require a large number of satellites to provide global coverage.

SatixFy's technologies can change the game from both a performance and cost perspective. SatixFy's 2^nd generation Digital Beamforming ASIC Prime 2.0 utilizes "True Time Delay" technology and has a modular and scalable architecture that enables building large antenna arrays in different frequency bands spanning from L-band to Ka-band. Additionally, the Prime2 ASIC supports a large capacity (up to 8GHz, which can be further aggregated to expand to 64GHz) with up to 128 dual polarized beams all of which allow a large number of devices to be serviced by a single antenna. The beams can be configured dynamically in a very short time to support beam hopping that further optimizes the utilization of satellite resources to support a large number of devices on the ground. Prime 2.0 will deliver all these features at a very low DC power.

These technologies are not theoretical. On June 28, 2022, SatixFy played a key role in demonstrating a high-speed, low-latency link with a LEO satellite constellation incorporating 5G. The demonstration at the ESA/ECSAT facilities in Harwell, UK, using a compact electronic antenna powered by SatixFy to connect to a LEO satellite constellation operated by OneWeb, achieved the world's first ever 5G backhaul communications connected to a LEO satellite constellation. That demonstration showcased the validity of the integration of space and ground networks using 5G links, and direct-to-cell is one of the applications that could utilize this technology in the future.

"SatixFy's space-grade Prime 2.0 will enable low power-usage and cost-effective wideband large Electronically Steered antennas with high aperture efficiency for space applications such as direct-to-cell to deliver broadband directly to handheld cellular devices," said SatixFy CEO David Ripstein. "We expect to play a key role in enabling the 5G satellite technologies of the future and expect this will become another strong market segment for SatixFy over time."

On March 8, 2022, SatixFy announced that it had entered into a definitive business combination agreement with Endurance Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:EDNC), a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) formed by an affiliate of Antarctica Capital, an international private equity firm. Upon closing of the transaction, SatixFy's shares are expected to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "SATX."
