ATLANTA – SCTE Cable Tec Expo (November 15, 2011) –-Antenna Technology Communications Inc. (ATCi), a provider of commercial satellite communications services, announced today from the SCTE Cable Tec Expo taking place in Atlanta, GA, that major U.S. cable MSO’s have adopted and have implemented Simulsat-5b retrofit kits in several sites across the United States.

Simulsat-5B is ATCi’s newest entry in the Simulsat line of multibeam satellite transport systems. The system was specifically designed to economically improve upon the longstanding full-arc, flexibility of multibeam antennas, the original Simulsat-5. Simulsat-5 transitions seamlessly to the improved Simulsat-5B which was designed from the ground up using the latest composite fabrication, computer simulation and solid modeling technologies.

“In today’s demanding digital satellite environment, ATCi’s Simulsat-5B system represents a significant step forward in multibeam satellite technology that provides the margin satellite users need to keep their services up and on line, said ATCi’s CEO, Gary Hatch. “With the advent of MPEG-4/DVBS2 modulation, upgrading our older Simulsat customers’ systems to the latest high tolerance design is critical for them to maintain the highest quality digital reception,” Hatch continued. “The update is quick and cost-effective in that our customers keep their original mount and simply update with a new reflector and feedbox during their standard maintenance window. We are pleased to assist our customers in the MPEG-4/DVBS2 transition.” Hatch concluded.

ATCi is displaying Simulsat-5b along with its other communication solutions and systems at Cable Tec Expo November 15-17, in Atlanta – Booth #1015. For more information visit: www.atci.com.
