Additional Tracking Mode Offers a New Twist on Refresh of Data Sets

POWAY, CA – August 01, 2017 — Radeus Labs, Inc., a market leader in the design and manufacture of high performance antenna control systems, announced today the addition of IESS-412 or more commonly, Intelsat 11-parameter pointing capability to the 8200 antenna control system (ACS). 

The added pointing mode will allow greater flexibility for customers who use the Intelsat pointing mode and offers multiple methods for refreshing data sets, including an automatic update capability for web facing systems. 

Juliet Correnti, Chief Executive Officer and co-owner of Radeus Labs noted that, “Our customers continue to push us to grow our offering and add innovative twists to tried and true methods. This creates value for our customers and simplifies their work in ways that could not have been easily done 10 or 15 years ago.”

The 8200 currently auto updates the NORAD two-line element set data on a daily basis for targets using that pointing mode. Similarly, the Intelsat pointing mode will auto-refresh data sets when the 8200 ACU has web access. Alternatively, the data sets may be updated over the internal LAN when web access is not available. A third option for uploading data sets is to utilize the USB drive located on the the front panel of the ACU.

“We have tried to make it easy for customers to maintain current pointing data in their ACUs,” states Robert Gomez, a Satcom Engineer for Radeus. “By adding ease-of-use features to the 8200, we reduce the amount time required to maintain the unit and simplify the update process for our customers,” notes Gomez.

The True Cost of Cloud AI: What Most Teams Don't Budget For

The allure of cloud-based AI tools is undeniable. They’re fast to set up, easy to access, and promise powerful capabilities without the need for infrastructure investments. But beneath the surface, many organizations—especially those in regulated or security-sensitive industries—are discovering that the real cost of cloud AI goes far beyond the monthly invoice.

If your team is evaluating how to scale AI internally, it’s critical to understand what you may be signing up for. Because while public AI tools offer convenience, they also come with hidden costs, hidden risks, and very real limitations—particularly when compliance, data control, and operational continuity are on the line.

The Science of Satellite Signal Acquisition: How ACUs Ensure Connections

Before your satellite antenna can track anything, it has to find and acquire the right signal—with factors like orbital drift, weather interference, and even minor miscalculations in positioning meaning the difference between a strong, stable connection and a frustrating search for a missing signal.

This is where Antenna Control Units (ACUs) do the heavy lifting. They don’t just move the antenna—they calculate look angles, scan for beacon signals, and refine positioning to lock onto the satellite with pinpoint accuracy. If your ACU is outdated or slow, that process can become a bottleneck, costing valuable time and signal reliability.

This article breaks down 4 ways ACUs acquire satellite signals, the challenges involved, and how modern upgrades can enhance accuracy, speed, and long-term performance.

Safer Schools Start with Clear Communication: Why Audio Logs Matter

Emergencies on school campuses unfold quickly, and when they do, communication isn’t just helpful—it’s vital. Whether it’s a burst pipe, a student health scare, or a campus lockdown, a school’s ability to relay clear, immediate information can determine how effectively it responds.
