DTS places Large Usat 30 order for Global Deployment -August 25 2010 Cobham SATCOM Receives Large USAT™ 30 Order from DTS for Global Deployment
Concord, CA-- Cobham SATCOM is pleased to announce an increase in orders for its Sea Tel® Ultra Small Aperture Terminal (USAT™) marine stabilized Ku-band antenna system, as its applications in the global maritime market are expanding.
Cobham customer Data Technology Solutions (DTS) have installed several USAT™ 30 on their network over the last 60 days on offshore marine support vessels participating in oil cleanup and tracking efforts in the Gulf of Mexico. They continue to deploy these systems in their network at an unprecedented pace. The small form factor of the USAT platform allows the system to be easily installed. The latest electronics on the USAT antenna along with DTS advanced Ku-band network capability provide higher bandwidth (information rate) than competitive services.
“DTS and Cobham give us quality, reliability and excellent service,” said Rick Groen, director of advanced technology and System at Seacor Marine. “These companies are nimble and have a hands-on approach to problem solving. The balanced approach with a finger-on-the-pulse is what we want from our suppliers and that is what we have received from DTS and Cobham SATCOM.”
“The USAT has opened many new doors regarding what we can offer our customers. USAT has changed the playing field by allowing DTS to offer a variety of different size antennas to existing as well as new customers” said Mike Guidroz, CEO of Data Technology Solutions. “We are doing everything possible to provide seamless communication to help with the clean up. In our rental business we deploy DTS Skid (patent pending) day in and day out. The USAT™ 30 is easy to install, integrates seamlessly in our network, and provides the performance of bigger systems. We have numerous USAT antennas deployed in the Gulf of Mexico, Africa and other regions of the world.”
“USAT 30 has superior efficiency and the best pointing accuracy of any system of this size, which has been an extremely useful feature when communicating in a rapidly changing environment such as the cleanup effort in the Gulf of Mexico,” said John DeSana, vice president of Cobham SATCOM. “This has allowed DTS to provide the exceptional value and quality of their network services to a much larger and more bandwidth-conscious customer base. DTS is now expanding their footprint to Africa and other parts of the world using the USAT platform.”
USAT 30 is a 76 cm (30 inches), lightweight, easy-to-install, 2-axis marine stabilized antenna system for broadband connectivity. The USAT™ 30 is configured to be compatible with all Ku-band satellites by using the new Quad Local Oscillator (Quad L.O.) Low Noise Block (LNB). The antenna is also equipped with Sea Tel’s proven stabilization system, isolating the antenna system from ship’s motion regardless how rough the sea state or weather conditions. Sea Tel’s industry-leading pointing accuracy of better than 0.2 degrees will keep the competition playing catch up for some time.
The USAT 30 is ideal for broadband, always-on services for ships in the leisure and commercial markets where available deck space is limited and closer-to-shore operations do not require a larger VSAT antenna system. Systems are being deployed and available from approved Sea Tel Sales and Service dealers. For more information contact satcom.concordsales@cobham.com
