“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!

Nearly 3,000 Units Over Two Decades: The Digital Flight Recorder's Evolution

CASE STUDY: Some products are designed once and deployed for years. The Digital Flight Recorder (DFR), however, has continuously adapted alongside the missions it supports for more than two decades.

Since 2005, Radeus Labs has partnered with General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (GA-ASI) to advance the digital and analog recording systems used by unmanned drone pilots and payload operators. What began as a general-purpose video capture computer to replace obsolete Hi-8 tape recorders is now a sophisticated embedded device platform. Across three hardware generations and ongoing software updates on the current platform, nearly 3,000 units have been fielded to date.

Big Box Systems: When A Standard Configuration Stops Being Enough

Big-box computers are built for broad use. Mission-critical industrial systems are not.

In test labs, data acquisition platforms, and robotics environments, the computer has to withstand vibration, temperature swings, dust, and continuous operation while supporting the interfaces, component availability, and service life the larger program requires. A standard specification sheet covers very little of that.

More companies are choosing systems engineered and integrated for the application instead of adapting around a stock configuration.

What to Expect During A Professional Recorder Installation

michael edmondson_recording installationsInstalling a call recording system sounds simple: hook up some phones, plug in a box, done. In practice, it's a coordinated effort between the install team, your IT staff, and whoever manages the system day to day. We sat down with Michael Edmondson, one of Radeus Labs' lead field technicians, to walk through what actually happens on-site, from the first walkthrough to the final training session.
