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.

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.
