2022 was a productive year for the company. We started the year with significant orders from our existing and new customers. We have seen great demand for our vehicle mount as well as Flyaway and Manpack units from all over the world.
We have received and were able to ship, on time, over 120 systems to a single customer and delivered many others in the range of 30-50 systems to others worldwide. A number of new reseller and Integrators have been signed up over the last 12 month addressing a number of new geographies coupled with new markets (Egypt, Algeria, Indonesia-Military, USA, Australia-Disaster Management, Cellular Backhaul, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Oman-Oil and Gas Exploration) just to name a few.
Our extensive inventory of ready to ship systems made this all possible. Despite supply chain issues and component shortages facing many of us in the SATCOM industry we were able to manage the long lead items, design new products, manufacture, and ship these without interruptions.
To mitigate obsolescence and component shortages and keep pace with the industry we have designed and manufactured several new products. These new products are fully compatible with the latest modems and services offered by satellite providers.
The following developments were completed, and new products launched for new markets:
- Ka-74G Approval with Eutelsat/Konnect service;
- Ka-74H to support HNS Jupiter service;
- Ka-75VP Approval with Viasat service;
- 7715 FCC/CE certifications;
- New 1200+ Environmental Testing and Compliance and release to production;
- New Software Releases for all iNetVu controllers (7000/7710 and 7715) to support new modems and new antenna platforms;
- New FLY-74 Ku-band and Fly-74H Ka band Antenna;
- New FMA-2.4m with slewing drive design covering wider Azimuth range;
- New Beacon Receiver BR-400L released to replace the discontinued model;
- Introduced new version of Manpack Ka band (wide band) with XRF 2-axis system;
