SatCom Engineering

Our technologists are highly experienced in the design, development, optimization, analysis and systems engineering services relating to different types of Satellite networks -- ranging from two-way VSATs to one-way DAB-S systems and the latest ATC/CGC-based architectures featuring 4G/LTE technologies. We excel at presenting complex mathematical analysis to decision makers. Our experience in innovation ranges from feasibility analysis and concept development to patenting and Research & Development. We have authored and presented tutorials, white-papers and reports and RFP responses relating to new product evaluations, best-practices, technology insertion/refresh and evolution strategies as well as analyzed and presented complex network architecture, terminal stability and carrier-bandwidth issues to key decision makers in various companies and several vital US Federal Government Departments and Agencies.
