Articles Under Embargo - DTS deploys NEW Cobham Sea Tel Antenna
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010
DTS deploys Cobham’s Sea Tel USAT 30 antenna in Global Connect Services network.
Cobham SATCOM Sea Tel Products and Data Technology Solutions are pleased to announce that Sea Tel’s Ultra Small Aperture Terminal USAT 30, (76cm, 30 inch) Marine Stabilized Antenna has been selected by Data Technology Solutions to be the newest member of their global fleet consisting of the 60 cm, 1 meter, 1.5 meter and 2.4 meter Sea Tel antennas. Extensive on-satellite testing and monitoring of network performance has shown that the USAT 30 significantly outperforms existing similar products offered by the competition. Extensive motion and vibration testing have been performed to ensure optimal system performance while enduring the most extreme conditions that could be encountered in a maritime environment.
According to Mr. Mike Guidroz, CEO of DTS, “The USAT 30 is the antenna we have been waiting for. After all, DTS with Sea Tel antennas have been nick named the Work Horse of the Gulf. The USAT 30 outperformed competitive products by 75% with a reflector that is 12% smaller. We are hard on antennas. In our rental business failure is not an option. We are driven to be the first to provide our global travelers with bleeding-edge technology services. We are confident that by deploying USAT 30 in the Gulf of Mexico we are setting yet another benchmark for the rest of the communications industry to follow. It’s a combination that just works! These antennas are installed, stripped and shipped hundreds of times a year. Our plug and play skids are shipped all over the world. The USAT 30 makes for the perfect antenna for the popular DTS Skid (Patents Pending) system. We cannot build the skids fast enough. The energy and military sector have shown an over whelming interest in the product.”
Mr. Peter Broadhurst, Director of Sales and Marketing for Sea Tel products at Cobham SATCOM, said “We put a lot of effort into designing and perfecting these systems. We are very fortunate to have a partner like Data Technology Solutions. USAT 30 has superior efficiency and the best pointing accuracy of any system of this size. This will allow DTS to provide the exceptional value and quality of their network services to a much larger, and more bandwidth conscious customer base.
USAT 30 is a 76 cm (30 inches), lightweight, easy-to-install, two-axis marine stabilized antenna system for broadband connectivity. The USAT 30 is configured to be compatible with all Ku-band satellites by utilizing the new Quad Local Oscillator (Quad L.O.) LNB. The antenna is also equipped with the proven Sea Tel stabilization system, isolating the antenna system from ship’s motion no matter how rough the sea state or weather conditions. The Sea Tel’s industry leading pointing accuracy of better than 0.2 degrees will keep the competition playing catch up for some time.
Product will be unveiled at Satellite 2010, Booth #1024 March 16-18, 2010
