iSat announces Heads of Terms agreement with Atlas mounting.
ISAT LTD, ENGLAND- (Hampshire) -- 07/08/13 – Integrated Satellite Application Technologies
(iSat), A systems integrator specialising in satellite earth stations for
frequencies such as X-band and Ka band for use by government, satellite
operators and broadcasting organisations, today announced that it signed a
heads of agreement to purchase Atlas Mounting for a deferred cash consideration.
Atlas Mounting initiated the idea of lighter
non-penetrating mounts for 2.4mtr antennas made out of Aluminium material. For
the last 6 months, iSat have re-engineered the satellite mounts from the ground
up and produced mounts that retain their weight advantage, but have increased
their durability and robustness. These objectives were achieved by utilising
durable aircraft grade aluminium and pioneering a tangential system of supports
which resulted in less torque and increased strength. A modular design which
minimised components and deployment time was also utilised. The overall weight
for a 2.4mtr mount is 75Kg, and iSat have placed a heavy emphasis on good
customer service so packing with 6 carry handle straps allows for easy man
handling off lorries, and deployment to roofs - which often have restricted
access. Compare this to a 325Kg steel mount normally delivered with a 2.4mtr
Prodelin antenna, and you can imagine that this new mount takes the physicality
out the earth station construction.
Owning the drawings and being able to adjust for
special situations will gradually grow the product range. Accessories such as
mounts for solar panels can be integrated into a final solution.
