“Maintenance friendly” Antenna Drive Unit offers daylight readable angle and signal display.

POWAY, CA – March 27, 2018 — Radeus Labs Inc., a market leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance antenna control systems, released a new version of the 8250 Antenna Drive Unit (ADU). The 8250D builds on the quality and robust operation of the 8250 ADU with the addition of a daylight readable display that shows the antenna look angles (AZ, EL, and Pol), beacon frequency, and relative signal strength in decibels.

Andrew Correnti, Engineering Manager at Radeus Labs notes that, “Many of our customers need the look angles and signal information while they are performing maintenance on their antenna systems. Incorporating this option into our 8250D ADU just makes sense for many of our customers.”

The 8250D ADU jog panel display offers a crisp and readily visible readout of antenna look angles and signal information incorporated into the ADU jog panel. The readout is designed to be visible even in direct sunlight when most displays become unreadable. The 8250D retains the high-quality components from respected companies such as Allen Bradley® and Yaskawa® which increase the performance and reliability of the unit. The 8250D is now available, for more information or to place an order contact us at sales@radeuslabs.comtoday!

Six Free Browser-Based Tools Built for SATCOM Engineers and Teleporters

Every SATCOM engineer knows the feeling: the tool you need is almost there, split across different desktop applications or buried in an old spreadsheet, so you end up stitching things together yourself, every single time.

So, we built the suite we always wanted: six browser-based engineering utilities, shared free with the field, that run entirely in your browser and keep your TLE files, observer coordinates, and log data on your machine.

AIAA AVIATION 2026: Simulation, Testing, and Aerospace Compute Took Center Stage

radeus labs team at aiaa aviation 2026_1Radeus Labs returned from the AIAA AVIATION Forum in San Diego earlier this month with a sharper sense of where aviation is headed. With the event in our own backyard, team members from across engineering, production, finance, and leadership were all able to attend and between them, they covered a lot of ground.

What they found was a deeply technical event: serious aerospace conversations, real prototypes on the floor, strong academic representation, and clear momentum building around simulation, testing, autonomy, AI-enabled workflows, and high-performance compute.
