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.

Writing a Grant Proposal for Dispatch or Public Safety Gear? Focus on These 3 Things

You know the drill: your department needs new equipment now, but the budget, or the grant, only goes so far. That’s why so many emergency services teams apply for what they can get today, with plans to expand when more funding comes through.

The good news? Funders are often open to a phased approach, as long as you spell it out clearly. When you show that your gear can scale with your needs, you’re not just being budget-savvy. You’re showing long-term thinking, operational resilience, and responsible use of public funds.

In this post, we’ll walk you through the three most important things to include in your grant proposal, so you can get the equipment you need now, and build on it later.

Why R&D Hardware Choices Can Make (or Break) Your Project

If you’re part of an engineering team, you know the story too well: the prototype works fine, but once you move toward production, everything starts to fall apart. The part you counted on goes end-of-life. Licensing costs balloon out of nowhere. Thermal issues show up in the field that you never saw in the lab. Suddenly your carefully built timeline slips, and you’re the one explaining delays and budget overruns to leadership.

The hard truth? Most of these headaches can be traced back to hardware decisions made early in R&D.
