LeoSat LLC, which is planning a global low-orbiting satellite constellation of Ka-band satellites to provide high-speed data transfers using intersatellite links, expects an initial verdict on its system architecture and cost by July following the completion of a feasibility study. Vern Fotheringham, chief executive of Arlington, Virginia-based LeoSat, said the company recently hired boutique investment firm Axiom Capital Management of Mount Kisco, New York, to coordinate an initial round of financing. "It is a modest A-round funding just to get us through the design phase," Fotheringham said June 1 during the CASBAA Satellite Industry Forum in Singapore. "In parallel we will start working up the B-round, which will be much larger and will lead us to an initial satellite contract."
