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.

What Thoughtful Engineering Looks Like From The Inside Out

In hardware engineering, most conversations about product quality focus on the "outside" metrics: performance benchmarks, environmental ratings, and spec sheets.

Those things matter. But the most revealing moment in the life of a product happens when the marketing ends and the enclosure is opened.

The $500 RAM Stick: Navigating the 2026 Memory Spike

If your systems rely on compute, storage, or embedded hardware, the numbers have already changed under you. RAM that cost $32 a stick last August is now $500. SSDs that were $125 are tracking at the same steep increase. A server that sold for $50,000 six months ago now costs $70,000. And by the end of this month, prices on key components are expected to double again.

This is not a typical cycle. It reflects a structural reallocation of how memory and silicon are produced and who gets access to it.

As our CEO Juliet Correnti put it: "This is a wild time in the market, and there are serious impacts from it. The goal is not to create panic. It is to understand what is happening and offer our customers a clear way to navigate it."

The question is not whether the volatility in the memory market affects your environment. It is how exposed you are. And the best way to answer that is to break your systems down into tiers of volatility.

SATShow 2026: Bigger Crowds, Bigger Conversations, and a Ground Station Industry in Motion
