Sentient Digital, Inc. (SDi) Partners with Viasat to Support Korea Coast Guard Maritime Domain Awareness and Information Sharing Missions
For the Korea Coast Guard CN-235 aircraft, SDi and SGD are implementing a robust new aeronautical SATCOM network utilizing Viasat's GAT-5530 dual Ku- and Ka- bond broadband terminal to facilitate the rapid and accurate execution of operational duties. The system enables real-time information sharing among maritime security forces, including airborne units and ground stations, to enhance maritime monitoring through the sharing of voice, video, and airborne tactical data including radar and AIS (Automatic Identification Systems). The initial pilot program will install this SATCOM solution on an initial CN-235 aircraft operated by the Republic of Korea Coast Guard (KCG) with potential for integration on additional CN-235 aircraft in subsequent phases. This integration will provide advanced, multi-band, multi-orbit connectivity and supports national security objectives by enabling access to the Republic of Korea's sovereign Mugunghwa-5A Ku-band satellite and the forthcoming Chollian 3 Ka-band satellite.
SDi is partnered with SGD Engineering, Ltd. for this program, a leading provider of turnkey airborne mission solutions. SGD, headquartered in Tel Aviv, Isreal, has over 40 years of experience in the design, analysis, integration and installation of various airborne systems. SDi is honored to play a role in this important initiative, driving our commitment to deliver advanced solutions that enhance mission-critical operations. We also look forward to a long-term partnership with Viasat and SGD to provide this complete solution to additional customers worldwide that operate the CN-235 aircraft. "This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our strategic growth in aircraft systems integration and reinforces our commitment to expanding partnerships with international organizations. By leveraging our expertise and working with global leaders like Viasat and SGD, we're proud to support the Korea Coast Guard in achieving advanced mission capabilities while furthering SDi's mission of enhancing maritime security worldwide" said Chris Mobley, President of SDi.
The CN-235 is a medium-range twin-engine transport aircraft that provides multi-mission support with special application versions including maritime patrol, tactical transport, electronic warfare, navigator training and aerial survey. With approximately 240 CN-235 aircraft currently in operation around the world, it is most widely deployed in maritime environments to enhance sovereign coast guard or navy operations.

MDA Space achieves an industry first in satellite digital beam forming
MDA Space (TSX:MDA) has successfully demonstrated the digital formation and electronic steering of multiple Ka-band beams using direct sampling with its Aurora direct radiating array (DRA) — a first in the industry This technological milestone marks a big step forward in the development of next-generation satellite constellations, particularly for broadband and 5G connectivity The Aurora Ka-band DRA is designed to form multiple simultaneous beams and steer them electronically enables operators to dynamically allocate bandwidth and direct capacity precisely where and when it's needed MDA Space stock (TSX:MDA) opened trading at C$39.48 A top mission partner to the global space industry, has announced a groundbreaking achievement in satellite communications technology. MDA Space (TSX:MDA) has successfully demonstrated the digital formation and electronic steering of multiple Ka-band beams using direct sampling with its Aurora direct radiating array (DRA) — a first in the industry. This content has been prepared as part of a partnership with MDA Space Ltd. and is intended for informational purposes only. This technological milestone marks a big step forward in the development of next-generation satellite constellations, particularly for broadband and 5G connectivity. Unlike traditional systems that rely on intermediate frequency conversion, MDA Space's direct sampling approach enhances efficiency, reduces satellite mass and power consumption, and lowers overall mission costs. The Aurora Ka-band DRA is designed to deliver high-performance, software-defined capabilities. Its ability to form multiple simultaneous beams and steer them electronically enables operators to dynamically allocate bandwidth and direct capacity precisely where and when it's needed. This flexibility is crucial for meeting the growing global demand for high-speed, low-latency data services. 'With MDA Aurora, we're providing a highly flexible and adaptable solution that can be tailored to meet each customer's specific requirements,' Luigi Pozzebon, Vice-President of Satellite Systems at MDA Space said in a news release. 'The successful demonstration of our Ka-band DRA technology is a critical step towards delivering those advanced capabilities that will help customers compete in the rapidly evolving satellite communications market.' To showcase the technology, MDA Space has opened a demonstration lab at its Montréal manufacturing facility. The lab features a working DRA prototype and uses thermal imaging to visualize beam formation and steering in real time. The setup will soon include an onboard processor prototype, completing the full communication chain from gateway ground station to user terminal. This demonstration could not only validate the core capabilities of the Aurora platform but also provides customers with a tangible preview of its end-to-end performance in real-world scenarios. This news comes a week after MDA completed its acquisition of SatixFy Communications Ltd., a next-generation satellite communication solutions provider based on in-house-designed chipsets. SatixFy's operations and full technology portfolio will be integrated into the Satellite Systems business area of MDA Space. MDA Space Ltd. is a partner to the global space industry specializing in robotics, satellite systems and geointelligence. The company brings over 55 years of experience across more than 450 missions, including the development of the Canadarm robotic arm system. MDA Space stock (TSX:MDA) opened trading 1.40 per cent higher at C$39.48 and has risen 214.50 per cent since this time last year.

Former Quebec premier Jean Charest nominated as candidate for Stingray Group board of directors
Former Premier of Quebec Jean Charest who is a member of the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Council on Canada-U.S. Relations speaks to reporters during a cabinet retreat at Chateau Montebello in Montebello, Que., on Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2025. (Sean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press) Former Quebec premier Jean Charest has been confirmed as a candidate for a seat on the board of directors of Stingray Group. The Montreal-based company, which specializes in multi-platform music and video services, made the announcement Monday afternoon. The election to the board is expected to take place at the company's annual general meeting on Aug. 6. Board chair Mark Pathy welcomed the former premier's decision to run, saying that 'his distinguished career in public service, his extensive experience in public policy and international affairs, and his keen understanding of the Canadian context' would be 'valuable assets' for Stingray Group. According to Pathy, Charest's election 'would bring invaluable strategic perspectives as Stingray continues its global expansion and innovation in the dynamic media and technology sectors.' If elected, Charest would take over for François-Charles Sirois, co-founder of Stingray and director since 2007, who will not be standing for re-election this year. The former premier previously served briefly on the board of directors of Canadian National Railway (CN). He took office on Jan. 25, 2022, but resigned on April 1 when he announced his candidacy for the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada. Charest was a Member of Parliament and federal minister for the former Progressive Conservative Party in the 1980s and 1990s before switching to the Quebec Liberal Party in 1998. He served as premier from 2003 to 2012, before returning to the practice of law. This report by The Canadian Press was first published in French on July 8, 2025.
