Terrasat Communications has received two awards valued at $21 million.
The first award for a High Throughput Satellite (HTS) provider will replace aging TWTA amplifiers with Terrasat’s new, high-powered, phase combined, IBUC’s (Intelligent Block Up Converters).
The second award for a Military Systems Integrator will use Terrasat’s new and improved GaN based IBUC’s that now support multiple carrier transmission. High power Ku and C-band BUC’s will be deployed along with Terrasat’s new Cyber Hardened M&C (Monitoring and Control) for secure communications. Also included in the order is the firm’s new, lightweight IBUC 3G, perfect for Manpack and small aperture terminals.
The IBUC is an integrated BUC with a Solid State Power Amplifier (SSPA) that enables SATCOM operators to install, configure, and monitor with confidence. The intelligent BUC is used for commercial applications, military and government solutions, and within critical infrastructure environments.
“We continue to expand in the SSPA market with new solutions and are pleased to receive these to significant orders”, said Bob Hansen, Vice-President Global Sales and Marketing, Terrasat Communications. “We appreciate the confidence that these customers have shown in our products.”
Terrasat Communications designs and manufactures RF solutions for SATCOM systems. The company’s IBUCs deliver advanced features and performance. All models include a web interface for extensive management and control and are SNMP-compliant for easy interface with any NMS. Terrasat’s IBUCs hold up in extreme operating conditions, and that is made possible by extensive, individual unit testing over temperature for optimal performance. Terrasat has recently launched the new IBUC 3. Find out more about us at: www.terrasatinc.com.
