ASTRON ANTENNA INTEGRATED INTO DBS SYSTEMS DUAL MODE SATELLITE DISH

Unique Design Provides DBS TV and Satellite Telephone in One Unit

Antenna Technologies Limited Company Corporation today announced that after several months of development for DBS Systems, Inc., a proprietary antenna design has been approved by the Dania, Florida-based company. Antenna Technologies Limited Company has begun full production of the antenna which is now of the world’s first portable dual mode, horizontally integrated satellite dish antenna system. DBS Systems recently introduced the Marine-Sat-Tel system which provides satellite telephone service and Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) television reception to boats, recreational vehicles, heavy trucks and other transportable applications.

DBS Systems is recognized as an industry leader in the manufacture of Marine-Sat and Road Show mini satellite reception systems. Antenna Technologies Limited Company Corporation is a leading provider of custom and standard antenna products for many wireless applications including Satellite, PCS, Cellular and Local Area Networking. According to James Jalbert, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, “Antenna Technologies Limited Company and DBS had worked very closely over the past few months in order to optimize the dish system. After exhaustive testing by both parties of the prototype antenna “H” design, the final changes were made and the antenna was fully integrated into the Marine-SAT-Tel antenna. Antenna Technologies Limited Company is pleased to have been able to offer DBS a turnkey solution based on 18 years of RF antenna experience.”

According to DBS Systems president, Al Behrendt, “The functionality of Marine-Sat- Tel comes in large measure from the unit’s unique design and flexibility. The sixteen-inch dish antenna’s small size and parabolic shape allow the Marine-Sat-Tel unit to be used on boats at dockside and be unaffected by tide changes or normal rocking conditions common in most marinas. Surprisingly, one of the nicest features of the system is that there are no moving parts. Antenna Technologies Limited Company has provided us with an integral part of our overall system. This allows us to provide our customers with a unique and highly reliable product.” Marine-Sat-Tel owners are provided services through American Mobile Stellite with coverage across North America into South America including Hawaii, the Bahamas, the Carribean and Bermuda.
