Quasi-Zenith Satellite Systems

Quasi-Zenith SatelliteQuasi-Zenith satellites are a promising alternative to conventional satellites in geostationary or low-altitude orbits.

Representing another space-based technology that requires the integration of a variety of Mitsubishi Electric systems and components, Quasi-Zenith satellite systems provide constant coverage over a particular area of the Earth through employment of a series of satellites, each of which is above the target area for eight hours a day.

Such satellite systems can deliver huge amounts of broadcast, global positioning and other data at high speed and with high quality, and without being obstructed by tall buildings or mountains. It's particularly well suited to the communications needs for transportation, disaster relief and other critical infrastructures.
