Madrid, Spain, 17th July 2018 – Integrasys, a leading manufacturer of Carrier Monitoring Systems, and Acorde, a designer and manufacturer of RF front-ends for satellite communications systems, have collaborated to integrate Satmotion Pocket, the auto-commissioning system from Integrasys, into Acorde’s Block-Up Converters (BUCs) for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). This joint integration makes it possible for operators to receive the benefits of Satmotion Pocket in a UAV environment. The integration of the solution within Acorde’s BUCs enables UAVs to operate more efficiently, optimising energy consumption due to increased signal pointing accuracy. UAVs are able to automatically connect to the right satellite, therefore using...

IBC, Amsterdam, 17th July 2018 – ETL Systems, a global designer and manufacturer of RF signal distribution equipment for satellite communications, will be launching its StingRay DWDM solution at IBC. The solution enables high-quality distribution between a satellite antenna and a remote control room. Using DWDM technology, multiple signals can be transmitted and received over distances of up to 100s of kilometers through a single fibre cable. It also offers the potential to deliver redundancy by adding an additional fibre connection. The StingRay DWDM is able to maintain a much finer optical spectrum, enabling it to distribute up to 40 channels through one...

Atos has launched their new satellite monitoring and geolocation system, which can detect, localize and mitigate interference from the ever-increasing number of smallsat carriers and devices. Named Atos SkyMon ILS (Interference Localization System) VSAT, the system — formerly known as SIECAMS — is the latest innovation following Atos’ recent acquisition of Siemens Convergence Creators (CVC), resulting in reinforced capabilities in the space market. Over the next couple of years, thousands of powerful smallsats will be launched into LEO, which means that detecting and localizing interference is therefore becoming more and more crucial. Atos SkyMon ILS VSAT, a fully integrated solution...
