Phoenix, Ariz. (Nov. 29, 07) – Antenna Technology Communications Inc., a provider of ground-based commercial satellite communications systems, announced today that KDDI selected the Simulsat C/Ku for its newest teleport facility. KDDI, the only Japanese information and communication company providing communications service from fixed to mobile, integrated the Simulsat C/Ku into its Yamaguchi, Japan teleport.

Simulsat C/Ku is the most technologically advanced antenna in the Simulsat family designed for international applications. With its ability to receive information from up to 35 satellites simultaneously, Simulsat technology is one of the key components in KDDI’s mobile communications infrastructure. Because of their success with the Simulsat 7 they had integrated into their Ibaraki facility, KDDI decided to once again choose ATCi and Simulsat technology for its newest location.

Besides providing the equipment, ATCi partnered with NEC (NESIC) to integrate the Simulsat with customized heating kit along with fiber optics into the customer's existing M&C system which allows for remote monitoring from their corporate headquarters in Tokyo.

“Simulsat C/Ku was specifically re-engineered for the unique applications that are specific to international customers,” said Gunnar Light, Managing Director, Asia. “We are proud to have had such a long standing relationship with KDDI, and believe that it is a strong testament to Simulsat technology that KDDI has once again chosen ATCi to assist them in streamlining their satellite reception capabilities in their newest teleport facility,” Light concluded.
