VANCOUVER, March 9, 2016 /CNW/ - 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
the ATOM 250 Watt Ku-band Block Upconverters (BUC) and Solid State
Power Amplifiers (SSPAs), the latest edition to the ATOM Series
products.
The ATOM 250 Watt Ku-Dual band BUC provides 250W of saturated
power (200W @ P1dB) in one of the most compact sizes in the
market. Covering transmit frequencies from 12.25 to 18 GHz,
including CDL-Band and Low KU Band, the ATOM 250W SSPAs and BUCs
can be configured to suit operation on any Ku Band satellite. Ethernet, redundancy
configurations, EMI/EMC, and other custom options are available
upon request.
The ATOM series are up to 85% smaller, 90% lighter,
and 60% more energy efficient than alternatives, enabling a wide
range of applications including TWTA replacement, Satellite News
Gathering, transportable VSAT, Satcom on the Move, and Radar. The
ATOM 250W also includes ATOMControl, the same Management and
Control software that powers the full ATOM Ku and Ka family of
products.
"We are pleased to announce yet another product in the popular
line of ATOM Series of BUCs and SSPAs, "stated Norsat President
& CEO, Dr. Amiee Chan. "We
continue to build upon the strengths of this product offering to
develop the next generation technology. Our ATOM product line sales
continued to gather market traction and our customers continue to
be extremely pleased with the ATOM products and our customization
capabilities to meet their highly stringent demands."
Norsat has shipped the first ATOM 250W BUC to our initial
customer for integration into a radar transceiver application and
is accepting new orders now. For more information on the ATOM 250W
