AMERGINT Announces Telesat's Selection Of satTRAC For Use With Telesat's New Telstar 19 VANTAGE High Throughput Satellite
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (PRWEB) January 09, 2018 -- Jeff Papenfuss, AMERGINT Vice President - Waveform Products Group, stated: "Last year, we were contacted by Telesat with the opportunity to demonstrate satTRAC's ability to seamlessly integrate with Telesat's TT&C operations in Allan Park, Canada." "The prospect of working with Canada's premier global satellite operator was exciting to AMERGINT since it would enable our company to validate the performance and maturity of satTRAC in managing the operations of such widely used satellites as Boeing's BSS-702, Lockheed Martin's A2100, Space System Loral's LS-1300, and Airbus' E3000 spacecraft," stated Papenfuss. Telesat recently deployed its first satTRAC™ at the company's teleport in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
satTRAC is AMERGINT's pure software satellite TT&C Modem/Baseband Unit that is available with IF or RF interfaces. satTRAC is ideally suited for satellite operators and manufacturers seeking a long-term, sustainable and economical solution for their ground station and satellite test requirements. With satTRAC, customers now have a single unit that can operate spacecraft across their fleet. satTRAC is also available with a software RF channel emulation capability.
"As a leader in space communications, Telesat recognizes the value software applications provide," stated Greg Siemens, Senior TT&C Engineer. "AMERGINT's satTRAC met all the detailed technical requirements in our evaluation and provides a cost effective solution for our needs."
"Telesat has been pleased with the technical capabilities satTRAC has demonstrated in meeting the diverse requirements of our spacecraft fleet," noted Mike Beaudry, Telesat's Procurement Officer. "We also have been impressed with the dedication and responsiveness of the AMERGINT team."
