Radeus Labs Announces Addition of IESS-412 Capability for Flagship 8200 Antenna Control System

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.

[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.
