Kratos Introduces Monics® 200, A Fully-Featured, Cost Effective Sensor for Satellite Spot Beam Monitoring
September 08 2016 - 7:01AM
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq:KTOS), a
leading National Security Solutions provider, announced today the
release of Monics® 200, a new, cost effective Radio Frequency (RF)
satellite monitoring device suitable for applications such as
multi-beam High Throughput satellite (HTS) monitoring, fly-away
environments and instances where only limited monitoring is
required, such as remote teleports with a small number of antennas.
Offering more features and benefits than any
competitive spot beam product to detect and analyze interfering
signals, Monics 200 is a self-contained, standalone device that can
be integrated with other Monics family products to economically
broaden the monitoring footprint for satellite operators launching
next-generation HTS satellites and similar applications.
HTS satellites are the latest evolution of
satellite communications systems providing significantly more
capacity than traditional Fixed Service Satellites (FSS). In
contrast to FSS wide beams that cover large geographical areas, HTS
satellites feature smaller spot beams— potentially hundreds of such
beams on one HTS satellite— all of which require more cost
effective and intelligent monitoring solutions to ensure the
required quality of service is being delivered to the ground.
Monics 200’s DSP-enabled RF measurements enable
collection of RF data analytics for assessing HTS spot beam
efficiency and effectiveness. It includes local storage of
measurement data and forwards those measurements to the Monics
Central Data Server (CDS). In the event of a network failure,
Monics 200 automatically updates the CDS with locally stored data
when the network is restored. Thus operators are able to track any
anomalies that may have occurred during a network outage.
Monics 200 brings the full power of Monics to
spot beam monitoring in an economical, highly efficient solution.
