Anokiwave Inc. announced further expansion of its SATCOM beamformer IC family with the new Generation-2 Ku-Band set of ICs for the design and commercial deployment of phased array-based ground terminals.

AtlantecRF has introduced a new software product, LTTconnecT^TM 1.0, which has been developed to offer the ultimate user experience for its range of satellite simulators.

Lime Microsystems has announced a project with ESA, which will see its LimeSDR platforms used to develop innovative satcoms solutions based on Software Defined Radio.

The fourth batch of Iridium^® NEXT satellites, built by Thales Alenia Space, has been successfully launched by Space X from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.

AtlanTecRF has launched the new ALR series of Ka-Band Loop Test Translators (LTT) with Ethernet Control for Satcom testing.

AtlanTecRF has launched a plug-in 6U Loop Test Translator (LTT) for satcom RF testing. The traditional configuration for loop test translators used in off-satellite set up, calibration, alignment and quality monitoring of ground based equipment in satcom terminals is the 19” x 1U rack mount chassis. In other applications such packaging does not deliver optimum equipment densities or ease of operation. In such situations AtlanTecRF's plug-in 6U Module comes into its own, bringing ATE stacking principles to the satcom RF test world.

AtlanTecRF has launched its range of Q-Band Loop Test Translators with Ethernet Control. Addressing the nominal  44 GHz uplink market the company’s three new products provide loop-back frequency conversion of Transmit (Tx) to Receive (Rx), Transmit to L-Band and L-Band to Receive, thereby providing a complete suite of system testing instruments.

Cobham SATCOM and WxOps Inc. have supplied systems and software to support Hawaiian Airlines new Electronic Flight Bag program.
