VANCOUVER, Jan. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ - Norsat
International Inc. ("Norsat" or the "Company") (TSX: NII and NYSE
MKT: NSAT), a provider of unique and customized communication
solutions for remote and challenging applications, today announced
that it has received an approximate $3.3
million order for its GLOBETREKKER 2.0 portable satellite
terminals from a U.S. Combat Support Agency supporting the U.S.
Department of Defense and Intelligence Community.
The GLOBETrekker is an intelligent fly-away satellite terminal
with unsurpassed reliability, advanced auto-acquire technology, and
a flexible deployment platform. A simple one touch
interface and the LinkControl™ software allow for
automatic satellite acquisition so less experienced operators can
easily use the system while multi-tasking on other field operations
setup tasks. These military-grade, auto-acquire terminals will
provide:
- Dual-band (X-band and KU-band) connectivity to ensure access
worldwide depending on the satellite and bandwidth available in the
area of deployment
- An integrated optic module to link the Outdoor Unit (ODU) to an
Indoor Unit (IDU) modem over great distance without added
weight
- The ability to quickly and easily change the RF equipment which
makes the GLOBETrekker very adaptable to meet the changing
requirements of the customer.
The customer, who has worked with Norsat previously, chose the
GLOBETrekker 2.0 terminal due to the functionality of our built in
spectrum analyzer, the ruggedness of the unit, the sunlight
readable display and LinkControl profile which makes the system
very easy to use.
"We are extremely pleased to receive another order for our
GLOBETrekker 2.0 terminals for military applications. This is a
testament to the quality of our products and that Norsat can
deliver products and solutions that meet the stringent
specifications outlined by these type of government organizations,"
commented Dr. Amiee Chan, chief
executive officer of Norsat.
The Company expects to commence shipments of the terminals
during the 1st half of 2017.
