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.

Radeus Labs, Inc., with headquarters and manufacturing facilities in Poway, CA, is a leader in the design, manufacturing, and marketing of leading-edge hardware and software systems for the defense and SATCOM markets. Radeus Labs products are thoughtfully designed with a focus on ease of use, high performance, and sustainability.

The True Cost of Cloud AI: What Most Teams Don't Budget For

The allure of cloud-based AI tools is undeniable. They’re fast to set up, easy to access, and promise powerful capabilities without the need for infrastructure investments. But beneath the surface, many organizations—especially those in regulated or security-sensitive industries—are discovering that the real cost of cloud AI goes far beyond the monthly invoice.

If your team is evaluating how to scale AI internally, it’s critical to understand what you may be signing up for. Because while public AI tools offer convenience, they also come with hidden costs, hidden risks, and very real limitations—particularly when compliance, data control, and operational continuity are on the line.

The Science of Satellite Signal Acquisition: How ACUs Ensure Connections

Before your satellite antenna can track anything, it has to find and acquire the right signal—with factors like orbital drift, weather interference, and even minor miscalculations in positioning meaning the difference between a strong, stable connection and a frustrating search for a missing signal.

This is where Antenna Control Units (ACUs) do the heavy lifting. They don’t just move the antenna—they calculate look angles, scan for beacon signals, and refine positioning to lock onto the satellite with pinpoint accuracy. If your ACU is outdated or slow, that process can become a bottleneck, costing valuable time and signal reliability.

This article breaks down 4 ways ACUs acquire satellite signals, the challenges involved, and how modern upgrades can enhance accuracy, speed, and long-term performance.

Safer Schools Start with Clear Communication: Why Audio Logs Matter

Emergencies on school campuses unfold quickly, and when they do, communication isn’t just helpful—it’s vital. Whether it’s a burst pipe, a student health scare, or a campus lockdown, a school’s ability to relay clear, immediate information can determine how effectively it responds.
