ORBIT to Supply Aeronautical Telemetry Tracking Systems to Major European Aerospace Center

NETANYA, Israel, Jan 07, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via COMTEX) -- ORBIT Communications Systems Ltd., a subsidiary of ORBIT Technologies Ltd. (TASE:ORBI), a provider of mission-critical connectivity solutions in a variety of markets, including satellite communications, tracking and telemetry, and communications management systems, today announced that it has won a contract from a major European aerospace center for the supply of two portable telemetry tracking systems. The total value of the deals exceeds one million dollars.


ORBIT's transportable tracking systems, equipped with 4.5-meter and 1.5-meter S-band antennas, respectively, will be used by the aerospace center for highly dynamic aeronautical tracking and telemetry missions. These antenna systems are specially designed to enable fast deployment and can be easily assembled and operated in the field. The 1.5-meter system, in particular, can be carried and assembled in the field by two persons without requiring a mechanical lift. Both systems fit into standard containers to facilitate shipping by road and sea, and allow for easy mobility between different locations.

The tracking systems are operated and monitored using ORBIT's AL-4000 controller, featuring a dual-CPU architecture to enable real-time response for mission-critical data acquisition, as well as an advanced touch-screen GUI. An auto-tracking feed with full redundancy ensures 100% integrity of tracking data over time. In addition, it is possible to use both systems in parallel (from different locations) to create two sets of tracking data, allowing for an additional level of redundancy. ORBIT's systems are proven to operate in extreme environmental conditions, such as heavy winds and cold temperatures as low as -40ºC (-40ºF).

"This strategic project with a leading player in the European aerospace industry is further evidence of our expanding footprint in the European market," said Ofer Greenberger, CEO of ORBIT Communication Systems Ltd. "We are confident that the success of this and other recent projects in this region will lead to additional deployments and new opportunities in the areas of earth observation and telemetry tracking applications."
