Even in an urban area, reliable cellular coverage isn’t guaranteed.

At ESA’s European Centre for Space Applications and Telecommunications (ECSAT) 5G/6G demo lab on Harwell Campus, mobile coverage was weak to non existent, a situation many of us would come across from time to time.

The solution 
Satraka’s Terra antenna captures weak cellular signals inside the lab, amplifies them, and redistributes coverage across the space. 

The result 
✅ Lab engineers and visitors can use their regular mobile phones 
✅ No special devices, no workarounds 
✅ A practical, cost-effective solution enabled by Terra’s high sensitivity 

Terra antenna highlights 
🔹 8 highly directional cellular beams (9.6 dBi gain each) 
🔹 Flexible, tailored coverage using any beam combination 
🔹 Full 4G/5G frequency support — network agnostic 
🔹 MIMO-compatible, compact multi-beam design 
🔹 Additional Wi-Fi and GPS beams 

Why it matters 
🚀 Boosts network coverage by up to 3.2× 
📡 Makes dependable connectivity possible where it’s traditionally difficult 

Applications 
🏥 Mobility platforms (ambulances, coaches, robots, autonomous vehicles, near-shore vessels) 
🏢 Fixed sites (offices, warehouses, stations, village halls, shopping centres) 
🔐 Private cellular networks
