“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!

What I Saw at TechEx: Why AI Is Bigger—and Closer—Than We Think

juliet correnti-1Post by Juliet Correnti, CEO, Radeus Labs: 

Last week I attended TechEx 2025, a conference billed as “seven events in one.” TechEx truly delivered a cross-section of everything AI—from infrastructure to ethics to practical tools for business.

As someone who spends most days thinking about secure systems and simulation hardware, I came home with a bigger takeaway: AI isn’t just for data scientists and Silicon Valley startups. It is set to have massive impacts across industries. The road ahead is exciting, and I’m ready to help turn these tools into real-world impact.

SmallSat Europe 2025 Proved Why the Future of Space Belongs to Small Satellites

smallsat europe May-2025The inaugural SmallSat Europe conference concluded at the end of May in Amsterdam, and it left no doubt: small satellites are commanding big attention. Held at the Amsterdam RAI convention center, the two-day event brought together more than 1,200 attendees and 107 exhibitors for an immersive look at one of the fastest-growing sectors in aerospace. Among those in attendance was Chris Steph of Radeus Labs, whose on-the-ground perspective offered valuable insight into how Satcom innovations are evolving in real time.

Why "Set It and Forget It" Still Matters in Communication Logging

From 911 dispatch to military command centers, the demand for reliable voice and data recording has never been higher. But as new technologies flood the market, many of the available systems have become bloated with features most teams don’t need—or worse, can’t afford to manage.

What many organizations really want is something simpler: a system that records every second accurately, securely, and without constant intervention. A system that doesn’t require subscriptions, IT babysitting, or retraining every time an update rolls out.

In other words, they want the “set it and forget it” approach—technology that works silently in the background, day after day, year after year.
