Ground capacity, matched to the orbit above it.
BeamGround is the BeamDesk venue for evaluating ground, publishing requirements, and bringing satellite operators and landowners into one orbit-aware workflow.
One venue, two planning horizons.
Gateway hosting and rectenna siting share orbital matching and a listing workflow, but they are different infrastructure products with different constraints and maturity.
Gateway Host
Evaluate land for hosted antennas and communications equipment. BeamDesk relates orbital access to practical site inputs such as horizon, connectivity, power, and interference context.
Rectenna Site
Screen larger candidate sites for future receiving infrastructure. The workflow keeps contiguity, interconnection, exclusion, airspace, and regulatory assumptions visible rather than implying readiness.
Your fleet defines useful ground.
An operator’s registered orbital elements establish the latitude reach, access windows, dwell, and revisit pattern. BeamDesk applies that same fleet epoch to candidate ground so the shortlist answers the operator’s geometry instead of starting from an arbitrary map search.
Longitude, local infrastructure, and jurisdiction still affect a real site. The orbital model supplies the common frame; it does not erase site diligence.
A rank is a set of reasons, not a black box.
Candidate scoring combines the registered fleet with the requirement and site record. Each contribution remains visible, including missing evidence and gating constraints.
Fleet fit
Access, revisit, and latitude fit are computed under the same registered fleet epoch.
Site fit
Acreage, tenure, access, terrain, and existing encumbrances remain attributable to their source.
Infrastructure fit
Grid, connectivity, and other enabling inputs are separated from the orbital result.
Gaps and gates
Exclusions, incomplete evidence, and jurisdictional questions discount or block a candidate visibly.
Each side controls its own half of the record.
Operators publish demand; owners publish ground. BeamGround computes the match and keeps contact inside a permissioned approach workflow.
Operator · Define demand
Select a fleet and state the service, timing, capacity, and jurisdictional requirements the ground must satisfy.
BeamGround · Rank capacity
Evaluate eligible listings against the orbital geometry and requirement, then return an explainable shortlist.
Operator · Send an approach
A named organization contacts an owner through BeamGround. A computed match alone is not an offer or commitment.
Landowner · Respond and diligence
The owner reviews the approach, controls disclosure, and supplies documents only as the conversation advances.
Discovery without publishing the paddock.
Public listings omit owner identity and exact parcel boundaries. Approximate centroids are rounded to about one kilometre so integrations can discover regional capacity without exposing the owner or a contactable parcel.
Exact boundaries and supporting documents move through the controlled approach workflow, where access can be authorized and audited.
