What engineering disciplines do you cover?
Every discipline under one roof: RF, systems, broadcast, test, electrical, civil and mechanical engineering.
Do you prepare link budgets?
Yes. Link budgets are part of our system design work, along with ground station and network architecture and equipment selection. For a quick estimate, try our antenna gain and G/T calculator.
Do your engineers only design, or do they build too?
Our engineers also install, integrate and maintain what they design, so every drawing is grounded in real-world experience.
What are pre-engineered designs?
Proven, repeatable system designs that allow fast turn-up on tight budgets.
How is engineering support priced?
Engineering support fits your contract: hourly pricing, day and weekly rates, project-specific firm fixed price, or contract services.
