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.

What Thoughtful Engineering Looks Like From The Inside Out

In hardware engineering, most conversations about product quality focus on the "outside" metrics: performance benchmarks, environmental ratings, and spec sheets.

Those things matter. But the most revealing moment in the life of a product happens when the marketing ends and the enclosure is opened.

The $500 RAM Stick: Navigating the 2026 Memory Spike

If your systems rely on compute, storage, or embedded hardware, the numbers have already changed under you. RAM that cost $32 a stick last August is now $500. SSDs that were $125 are tracking at the same steep increase. A server that sold for $50,000 six months ago now costs $70,000. And by the end of this month, prices on key components are expected to double again.

This is not a typical cycle. It reflects a structural reallocation of how memory and silicon are produced and who gets access to it.

As our CEO Juliet Correnti put it: "This is a wild time in the market, and there are serious impacts from it. The goal is not to create panic. It is to understand what is happening and offer our customers a clear way to navigate it."

The question is not whether the volatility in the memory market affects your environment. It is how exposed you are. And the best way to answer that is to break your systems down into tiers of volatility.

SATShow 2026: Bigger Crowds, Bigger Conversations, and a Ground Station Industry in Motion

Last week, the Radeus Labs team headed to Washington, D.C. for SATShow 2026 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, and by every measure, this year's event delivered. The show was noticeably bigger than previous years, with a wave of new names on the exhibition floor and a palpable energy that reflected just how much the satellite industry is evolving right now.
