The Oxford Space Systems deployable helical antenna is designed and qualified for Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine to Machine (M2M) communications and services. The antenna uses stored energy to deploy and achieve a highly accurate shape from 0.65U stowed volume enabling a high RF performance in the multiple LoRa frequencies. It has a number of flight heritage and is optimized for IoT constellation volume production as an off-the-shelf product.

The helical design is easily scalable and tuneable for a bespoke set of frequencies and a broad range of applications and requirements. Oxford Space Systems is building a wide range of helical product portfolios by developing VHF, L-band, and S-band variants.

By leveraging in-house knowledge, IP, and origami-inspired techniques,  Oxford Space Systems offers a holistic, turn-key, customer-centric design service for missions where mass and stowage efficiency are critical. Bi, Tri, and Quad filar helicals, low in mass but delivering high performance, can be developed and optimized to meet mission requirements.
