What Kingsat does

Kingsat (KINGSAT COMMUNICATIONS CO., LTD, legal name: 广州肯赛特通信科技有限公司 / KINGSAT COMMUNICATIONS CO., LTD) is a Guangzhou-headquartered hardware manufacturer specializing in maritime communication antennas and 5G-NTN technology. Founded in 2007 as a brand of parent company EardateK Technologies Co., LTD, which contributes over 20 years of RF module expertise, Kingsat employs more than 120 staff across R&D, manufacturing, and global sales. Its product portfolio spans six core lines: Maritime VSAT (P Series, Ku/Ka band satellite broadband antennas), Maritime TVRO (V and X Series satellite TV antennas with proprietary three-axis stabilization plus fourth-axis skew adjustment), Maritime 4G-LTE (Z Series high-gain cellular antennas), Microwave Tracking (M Series parabolic antennas for point-to-point maritime links up to 100km / 300-400Mbps), Video Compression Systems (proprietary 112-173:1 compression with embedded AI analytics for CCTV), and the VBOX Maritime CCTV Tracker. Underlying technology includes self-made LNB and RF processing components, intelligent anti-heavy-sea tracking algorithms, dual GPS/GNSS compass modules, IP56-grade waterproofing with triple-defense coating, and a web-based ACU interface with the Vessel-Track cloud platform for fleet management.

Kingsat serves ocean-going merchant vessels, cruise ships, offshore oil and gas platforms, government maritime vessels, fishing fleets, and port operations. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales (satellite communication and TV antennas, 4G-LTE antennas, microwave tracking systems, video compression equipment) plus a managed-services tail via its role as an Eutelsat Virtual Network Operator, where it bundles satellite airtime with hardware for global-route vessels. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and follows a quote-based B2B sales motion with multi-year contracts. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales (via website quote forms and named sales contacts) with a channel-led model of 200+ domestic distributors in China and direct export relationships in 40+ countries supported by overseas warehouses in Singapore, UAE, and Germany. The company holds ISO9001, ISO14001, CE, RoHS, REACH, and FCC certifications and reports more than 10 patents related to maritime satellite communication technology.

Core offering

Kingsat designs, manufactures, and supplies maritime satellite communication antennas and related onboard hardware for commercial shipping, offshore, and marine customers. Its product line spans stabilised VSAT antennas in multiple sizes, TVRO antennas, 4G-LTE antennas, microwave and LEO tracking antennas, video compression systems, and the VBOX terminal. The company sells as an OEM/ODM supplier to system integrators, shipyards, and satellite service providers worldwide.

Product overview

Kingsat offers a comprehensive portfolio of maritime communication and connectivity solutions organized into six core product lines: Maritime VSAT (P Series antennas for satellite broadband in Ku/Ka bands), Maritime TVRO (V & X Series antennas for satellite television reception), Maritime 4G-LTE (Z Series high-gain cellular antennas), Microwave Tracking (M Series point-to-point antennas for high-bandwidth short-range connectivity), Video Compression Systems (AI-powered bandwidth optimization for CCTV/video), and VBOX IoT tracking. These products are complemented by the Vessel-Track cloud platform for fleet management. The portfolio enables complete maritime connectivity from satellite broadband and TV to cellular and microwave alternatives, with intelligent video processing capabilities.

Products and services

• Maritime VSAT Antennas A range of stabilised VSAT antennas in sizes from 45cm up to 2.4m, designed to maintain satellite link on moving vessels for commercial shipping, offshore platforms, and larger marine installations. Target customers are shipowners, shipyards, and satellite service providers.
• TVRO Antennas Maritime stabilised antennas designed for reception of satellite television broadcasts on vessels, used for crew welfare and passenger entertainment on commercial and leisure ships.
• 4G-LTE Maritime Antennas Maritime 4G-LTE antennas that enable cellular network connectivity for vessels operating in coastal or near-shore waters, complementing satellite links where terrestrial coverage is available.
• Microwave Tracking Antennas Microwave tracking antennas designed for maritime and related applications requiring precision pointing and tracking at microwave frequencies, used as part of specialised vessel communication or data-link systems.
• LEO Tracking Antennas Stabilised antennas engineered to track Low Earth Orbit satellite constellations from moving vessels, addressing the new generation of maritime LEO broadband services.
• Video Compression Systems Onboard video compression hardware that reduces bandwidth required for video transmission over satellite links, used by maritime operators for surveillance, crew communications, and operational video.
• VBOX Terminal VBOX onboard terminal hardware that supports maritime communication, networking, and integration with Kingsat antenna systems for vessel-side connectivity.
