CASE STUDY: What It Really Takes to Deliver on High-Stakes R&D Projects

by | Jul 15, 2025 | Computing

[NEW CASE STUDY] For teams working on federally funded innovation efforts—whether through SBIR, STTR, or other government-backed programs—technical success is only part of the equation. Getting your prototype into a real-world, testable environment can be a challenge all its own.

When Innovation Hits a Wall

It’s a familiar story: you’ve built powerful, purpose-driven software that shows real promise. But now the clock is ticking, and you need to deploy it in a secure, production-ready format—often on hardware that aligns with strict specs, timelines, and budget constraints. This is where many promising projects lose momentum.

That’s exactly the situation one San Diego-based firm faced during their Phase 1 SBIR. With software that worked beautifully in development but no infrastructure to support it at scale, they turned to Radeus Labs.

Why Infrastructure Choices Matter

What they needed wasn't just a server. It was a path forward—a way to virtualize their application, meet their program requirements, and do it all without getting sidetracked by hardware complexity or spiraling costs.

Radeus Labs stepped in with a consultative approach, helping the team define their environment, select the right hardware, and deploy a VMware-ready solution built to support both testing and future scaling.

Real Support, Real Speed

The result? A smooth transition from prototype to proof-of-concept, completed in days—not weeks. The engineering team stayed focused on their core innovation while Radeus handled the infrastructure challenge.

Lunch & Learn at Radeus Labs: Life After VMware and Market Reality Checks

RL teamRadeus Labs recently hosted our first customer-focused Lunch & Learn at our headquarters in Poway, CA. With infrastructure decisions feeling less stable than ever, we wanted to create a space for meaningful technical education, open discussion, and direct access to industry voices.

Built specifically for existing customers and partners operating in high-assurance environments, this event focused on providing practical answers. The format combined a deep technical session, market outlook updates from key vendors, and time for peer-to-peer networking.

This led to candid conversations about virtualization strategy, hardware availability, and where the industry is headed.


Antenna Control Systems: Step-Track and Antenna Tracking Fundamentals

Ground stations and teleports around the globe are filled with antennas and control systems tracking satellites for a multitude of purposes. When it comes to tracking Geosynchronous Earth Orbiting (GEO) satellites, one of the most common methods used in the industry is called “step-track”. While this is a simple idea, there is more to it than a cursory glance will reveal, and the devil is truly in the details of how this process is set up in your controller.
