In the age of global connectivity, reliable infrastructure on Earth is just as important as the satellites in orbit. OneWeb, a prominent low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite internet provider, has been rapidly expanding its global network of ground stations. Over the past two years, E-abel has proudly contributed to this mission by delivering high-performance Power Distribution Panels for OneWeb’s satellite ground stations across Canada.
As OneWeb continues to launch and operate its satellite constellation, ground stations across strategic locations in Canada play a vital role in linking the orbiting satellites to internet users worldwide. These facilities require stable, secure, and efficient power distribution systems to operate 24/7 in often remote and harsh environments.
Recognizing the critical nature of these systems, OneWeb chose E-abel as their electrical enclosure and panel partner to ensure every site is powered safely and reliably.
OneWeb’s ground stations presented a set of demanding requirements:
High Reliability: The power system had to function continuously in mission-critical environments.
Compact but Scalable Designs: Due to site constraints and modular station designs, the panels had to be space-efficient and adaptable.
Compliance with Global Standards: The equipment needed to meet stringent international electrical safety and performance regulations.
Quick Deployment: Fast production and delivery cycles were essential to align with OneWeb’s launch schedule.
Harsh Environment Durability: Installations in Canada needed to withstand wide temperature fluctuations and outdoor conditions.
E-abel worked closely with OneWeb’s engineering teams to co-develop a tailored power distribution system, including both MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) and MCCB (Molded Case Circuit Breaker) based panels, ensuring maximum flexibility and safety.
Custom Enclosure Design: Weather-resistant, IP-rated enclosures designed for long-term outdoor use.
Modular Layout: Efficient internal space planning allowed easy installation and maintenance.
Strict Testing and Quality Control: Every panel underwent rigorous internal testing before shipping.
Digital Twin Simulation (where applicable): Used in design phase for improved accuracy and reduced field errors.
Efficient Production Flow: Our manufacturing line maintained a high throughput while meeting precision assembly requirements.
Each shipment of E-abel panels arrived ready for immediate deployment at various Canadian ground stations. In real-world use, our panels have demonstrated excellent performance, powering satellite data routing systems, environmental controls, and auxiliary communications infrastructure.
The success of the initial projects led OneWeb to select E-abel again for future installations—making them one of our valued repeat clients. Our ability to consistently meet high standards in delivery timelines, customization, and quality assurance has solidified a strong partnership.
“The repeat orders from OneWeb speak volumes about the reliability and trust we’ve built as an engineering solutions provider. We’re proud to be part of a project that connects the world.” — Jim Zang, Founder of E-abel
