[NEW GUIDE] A Step-by-Step on Getting 3dB Beamwidth Right in Real-World Teleport Operations

For teams running or managing teleports, antenna tracking performance is not theoretical. It directly affects link stability, actuator wear, power usage, and whether a control system behaves predictably or constantly overcorrects.

1 (2)That reality is why Radeus Labs’ engineers created the Parabolic Satellite Dish Antenna 3dB Beamwidth Measurement Method guide.

This resource exists to help operators verify one of the most foundational parameters in any antenna control system using real, measured data instead of assumptions.

AIAA SciTech 2026: The Prime-and-Academia Mix That Worked

aiaa scitech 2026_radeus labs_showAIAA SciTech 2026 created space for deeper technical conversations across academia and industry. With a compact exhibit hall (about 115 vendors) and a strong academic backbone, SciTech created the kind of environment where you actually get time with the right people. 

For Radeus Labs, that meant fewer “wander the floor” moments and more targeted conversations around real programs, engineering problems, and what teams are prioritizing next.

Stop Warehousing Spare Parts: Rethinking Redundancy Under Virtualization

Redundancy historically has meant lots and lots of hardware. If a system was critical, additional workstations or servers were purchased. Full systems were boxed and stored as spares to ensure availability. In a one-to-one computing world, that approach made sense. Workloads lived on specific machines, and when a machine failed, replacement was the only path to recovery. 

Virtualization breaks that relationship. Workloads are no longer inseparable from individual pieces of hardware, yet many organizations continue to apply legacy redundancy and sparing strategies to architectures that no longer operate that way. The result is unnecessary cost, unused inventory, and avoidable complexity.
