Data over Satellite

As a world leading provider of satellite communications ground equipment we have solutions for antennas and electronics for receiving, transmitting and distributing signals.

We have a wide range of products and solutions for Data Over Satellite (DOS) transfer and signal transfers for indoor and underground use of GPS, Imarsat, Iridium and GNSS signals.

Receive, transmit and distribute

We are the world’s only full-service outdoor unit supplier of satellite antenna products and electronic services for Ku-band and Ka-band frequency platforms. We are also the only business that designs and manufactures both electronics and antenna solutions.

We can provide full systems for large facilities with multiple buildings or multiple dwellings through our outdoor units and Fibre IRS distribution or single electronic components when you need them.

We also have a wide selection of motorised and automated tracking systems and controllers for antennas which enable more effective tracking of signals particularly for the fast-evolving Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite markets.

Fibre optic transfer

Our fibre optic links are used by major satellite operators, teleports and broadcast facilities around the world to connect between their antennas and control rooms.

We offer a full range of Wideband, L-Band, IF and C, X and Ku Band frequencies, including a host of accessories for high performance satellite transmission and RF monitoring and control needs.

Transmission distances up to 100km can be achieved without the need for repeaters or amplification. We have both indoor and outdoor solutions for a wide range of applications such as:

Earth Stations and Teleports

Broadcast Facilities

Data over Satellite (DOS)/VSAT Hubs and Terminals

Maritime Antennas

IP Gateways

TT&C Stations

Radio Frequency over Fibre (RFoF)

Our RFoF links are used to transport down-converted IF signals from a satellite signal feed. Our RF Optic solutions are capable of transporting signals ranging from DC-18GHz catering to a wide range of applications over long distances. Typically, RFoF links receive the down-converted satellite signals from a remote antenna.

The technology creates light which is modulated by a radio frequency signal and transmitted over a fibre optic cable. Optical fibre works by transmitting light along a dielectric glass fibre, rather than electrical signals over copper. The main technical advantages of using fibre optical links are lower transmission losses, immunity to noise and electromagnetic interference, flexibility and ease of installation. Our high dynamic range DFB laser delivers exceptional signal quality for the most demanding of applications.

Our Platinum product line is designed to meet the increasing requirements for modularity and high-performance in a small form factor for superior long-distance transmission.

Satphone and GPS Repeaters

Our pioneering satellite phone repeater solution enables Iridium satellite handset users to make multiple and concurrent calls within any size building or underground facility. Similarly we can enable GPS and other positioning signals to be relayed inside buildings and hangers which can save time and money through not having to move aircraft for avionics testing.
