Hiltron Communications has chosen the upcoming GovSatCom 2023 in Luxembourg at which to promote its latest-generation HMAM LEO high speed motorised tracking antenna mount. The event will be held in the European Convention Center on February 23rd.

Based on over 10 years of Hiltron experience in designing, manufacturing and integrating motorised satellite mounts, HMAM LEO is capable of accommodating parabolic antennas of up to 2.4 metres diameter. Supported on a high-stability ground pillar, it incorporates the computing resources needed to track satellites using the NORAD TLE (two-line element) data format which defines satellite locations based on their location and velocity. The system can lock onto the desired LEO satellite within the approximately 10 minute timespan where the target satellite is in sight.

Hiltron Communications, a globally active satellite system integrator, manufacturer and distributor, reports a year of technical innovation throughout 2022.

A highlight project in Q2 was the completion of a satellite uplink and downlink system for one of Germany's largest television news broadcasters. This included six antennas plus control infrastructure for communicating with the network's associate organisations around the world. Hiltron software allows the system to be supervised via a single GUI showing all relevant performance parameters, confidence lights and alerts. De-icers in the antenna panels can be activated automatically if the rooftop temperature creates any risk of freezing. All six of the new antennas are being used to capture incoming signals. Hiltron also refurbished three existing antennas which function both as uplinks and downlinks. That part of the project included the provision and integration of Hiltron ACU antenna control units which are used to set the dish azimuth and elevation. 

Hiltron announces a new addition to its range of satellite communication equipment. "Optimised for use with small to medium sized antenna reflectors, VSAT oriented, the HDCU2 de-icing sensor and heating controller represents a new generation of our established HDCU and HDCU-E which have operated very successfully over the years in many locations around the world," comments Sales Manager Jean-Luc George van Eeckhoutte. "Enclosed in a 180 x 180 x 90 mm weatherproof housing, the complete unit conforms to IP66 protection against heavy rain or snow."

Hiltron Communications, a globally active satellite system integrator, manufacturer and distributor, reports continuing the expansion of its range of products and services. The mid September IBC 2022 show in Amsterdam was chosen for the first European promotion of Hiltron's HMAM LEO motorised antenna mount, HSACU4 antenna control unit and 3D laser-based satcom antenna scanning service.  "Low-earth-orbit satellites occupy the sharp edge of communications technology, as evidenced by the strong investment in satellite constellations offering low-latency internet access from practically any location," says Jean-Luc George van Eeckhoutte, Hiltron Sales Manager. "Our recently introduced HMAM LEO is a complete system combining the strength, precision, smoothness of operation and internal computing capabilities necessary to monitor low Earth orbit satellites. LEO satellites typically have an orbiting period of 128 minutes or less, making at least 11.25 orbits per day. Precise tracking is essential."

Medialogy Broadcast announces the opening of a newly-formed sales and support company in India plus an addition to the recently established Nigerian branch which serves the West African region.

Manoj Sharma joins the India office as senior manager, sales, with Dharamveer Grover as pre-sales support engineer. Both are based in New Delhi.

Medialogy Broadcast announces a new addition to its sales team with the appointment of Etukudo Etebom Akpan as technical sales manager for West Africa. Based in Lagos, Nigeria, he will represent the company in the 15 countries which collectively form the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

Hiltron Communications is introducing a service allowing 3D laser scanning and evaluation of teleport antennas. Based on technology developed by Hiltron’s subsidiary partner, ESA Microwave GmbH, this new resource allows reflectors of practically any size to be measured quickly and accurately.

Medialogy Broadcast announces the completion of a high-speed data store for one of Africa’s fastest growing religious television channels, located in Nigeria. The new installation is based on a 64 terabyte GB Labs FastNAS F-16 server which was chosen to replace an operationally restrictive combination of legacy disk drives.

Hiltron Communications announces the completion of a satellite uplink and downlink system for one of Germany's largest television news broadcasters. The project includes six antennas and related control infrastructure which will be used to communicate with the network's associate organisations around the world.

Medialogy Broadcast announces an innovation in media archiving with the introduction of ArcPaaS (Archiving Platform as a Service). Designed for broadcast-related users such as TV channels, production studios and post-production facilities, Medialogy's ArcPaaS can be configured as an on-premises subscription platform, a secure cloud networked archive or a hybrid of the two.

Medialogy Broadcast announces the completion of a live delay system for the London studios of one of the world's largest evangelical television networks, with over 14 million viewers around the globe. The system is based on Crystal Vision’s M-CLEANIT app running on the company's MARBLE-V1 media processing platform within a Vision 3 frame.

Hiltron Communications, a globally active satellite system integrator, manufacturer and distributor, announces the addition to its product portfolio of microwave feed systems for ground station antennas and high performance microwave components.

Having recently purchased the assets of the former ESA Microwave Solutions GmbH, Hiltron has acquired the know-how to design, develop, manufacture and test feed systems and microwave components for the bands from S to Ka, including band combination for multi-band feeds. Hiltron can now offer multi-band feed systems for new antennas as well as retrofit and upgrade of feeds for existing antennas.

Hiltron Communications, a globally active satellite system integrator, manufacturer and distributor, announces two new additions to its range of satellite communications solutions. The HMAM-Ka-Rx and Super-HMAM-Ka-Rx satellite communications receive-antennas allow fast switchover between linear and circular polarisation.

Hiltron Communications, a globally active satellite system integrator, manufacturer and distributor, announces a new addition to its management team with the appointment of Jean-Luc George van Eeckhoutte as Sales Manager for the EMEA region. He brings nearly 20 years of experience to the role and joins from RF technology company Spinner GmbH.
