Full Motion, DC Control System Solutions

The Series 2000 controllers add to our existing limited-motion-control solutions and add value in a fast-growing segment of the industry.

POWAY, CA, February 11, 2020 — Radeus Labs, Inc., a leading provider of high-performance systems for the defense and SATCOM markets, today announced the release of its 2000 Series Antenna Control System designed for use with full-motion antenna systems in LEO/MEO applications. The Radeus Labs 2200 and 2300 systems provide a state-of-the-art control solution for both new installations and retrofits of older antennas. The system is designed to be used on antennas, from virtually any manufacturer, using a single DC motor drive per axis.

“The Series 2000 controllers add to our existing limited-motion-control solutions and provide value in a fast-growing segment of the industry. Our technical capabilities continue to grow, along with our offerings to the market as a whole,” says Ken Cone, CTO for Radeus Labs. “We are focused on our customers and providing them with the technologies they need to get the job done in the field. This
is just the latest in a long line of planned control solutions,” says Cone.

Radeus CEO Juliet Correnti adds, “We are very excited about our expanding line of antenna control products and how they are adding value for our customers. We work hard to ensure that our solutions, support, and delivery are industry-leading.”

The Model 2200 antenna control system (ACS) is currently available through M2 Antenna Systems of Fresno, CA with their AE2000 series antennas and directly from Radeus. The Model 2200 ACS provides users with target scheduling, remote operation via SNMP, and automatic update capability for NORAD two-line element sets and IESS-412 models. The Model 2200 incorporates closed-loop control of
velocity for smooth control of higher-velocity antennas.

The Model 2300 antenna control system comes with a DC drive cabinet capable of working with different makes of full-motion antennas. The 2300 ACS can be used on new builds or as a retrofit solution for aging systems. It is a complete solution for LEO/MEO antenna systems. The 2300 ACS was selected by a major global LEO operator in 2019. The first system was installed in June of 2019 and is now
operating virtually 24/7, providing accurate pointing capability for their full-motion
LEO applications.

Voices Driving Innovation: Inside Kingston's Approach to the DRAM and NAND Allocation Crunch

For over a year, memory has been the tightest link in the supply chain for anyone building serious compute. DRAM and NAND prices have climbed beyond forecasts, and manufacturers are being more selective than ever about who gets product and when.

Jake Box has a front-row seat to the market. As Kingston Technology’s West Coast Field Sales Manager for system integrators, he works primarily with builders of AI servers, government systems, and gaming rigs. We spoke with him about what is driving the crunch, how Kingston manages allocation, and why this cycle differs from those before it.

Introducing the RL250: Remote Polarization Control for Satellite Antennas

A satellite move comes through, and the new one runs a different polarization than the last. In a lot of teleports, that still means what it's always meant: someone drives out, gets up on the antenna deck or the feed boom, throws the switch by hand, and drives back, hoping nothing else needs attention before the next pass. If the site is unattended, it means someone books a flight instead.
