Satellite Earth Station Antenna Control System

At Satellite 2016, Radeus Labs announces the immediate availability of the Model 8200 Satellite Earth Station Antenna Control System, enabling customers with legacy systems or new installations to upgrade to the new state of the art controller.

“The 8200 has been developed to compete with and outperform the most widely known legacy controllers of the past 20 years,” said Louis Barnett, Director of Sales & Marketing at Radeus Labs.

Customers have already benefited from deploying the 8200. Radeus Labs is partnering with Bill Anton at Alpha Satcom to provide control systems for their new antennas and US Electrodynamics at two of their teleport operations to both conduct extensive testing of the 8200 and install on their customer’s new antenna installations. The 8200 will enable customers to track and control on site and remotely, maintaining communications with their targets. “This is so much easier to use than the legacy controllers we have,” said Eduardo Martinez, Station Engineer, USEI.

The 8200 is a product driven by many years of customer feedback and is part of Radeus Labs commitment to innovation and delivering the latest in tracking controllers. The 8200 is available for configuration and sale by contacting Radeus Labs at sales@RadeusLabs.com or by visiting the website at www.radeuslabs.com.

Founded in 2002, Radeus Labs, a leader in Computing Solutions, was created out of the need to produce high tech, cost effective custom computing solutions that did not compromise on quality and value. Since then, operations have expanded to cover a diverse range of other quality products and services.

[NEW GUIDE] A Step-by-Step on Getting 3dB Beamwidth Right in Real-World Teleport Operations

For teams running or managing teleports, antenna tracking performance is not theoretical. It directly affects link stability, actuator wear, power usage, and whether a control system behaves predictably or constantly overcorrects.

1 (2)That reality is why Radeus Labs’ engineers created the Parabolic Satellite Dish Antenna 3dB Beamwidth Measurement Method guide.

This resource exists to help operators verify one of the most foundational parameters in any antenna control system using real, measured data instead of assumptions.

AIAA SciTech 2026: The Prime-and-Academia Mix That Worked

aiaa scitech 2026_radeus labs_showAIAA SciTech 2026 created space for deeper technical conversations across academia and industry. With a compact exhibit hall (about 115 vendors) and a strong academic backbone, SciTech created the kind of environment where you actually get time with the right people. 

For Radeus Labs, that meant fewer “wander the floor” moments and more targeted conversations around real programs, engineering problems, and what teams are prioritizing next.

Stop Warehousing Spare Parts: Rethinking Redundancy Under Virtualization

Redundancy historically has meant lots and lots of hardware. If a system was critical, additional workstations or servers were purchased. Full systems were boxed and stored as spares to ensure availability. In a one-to-one computing world, that approach made sense. Workloads lived on specific machines, and when a machine failed, replacement was the only path to recovery. 

Virtualization breaks that relationship. Workloads are no longer inseparable from individual pieces of hardware, yet many organizations continue to apply legacy redundancy and sparing strategies to architectures that no longer operate that way. The result is unnecessary cost, unused inventory, and avoidable complexity.
