Milpitas, CA - October 7, 2020 –
Teledyne Paradise
Datacom (Paradise), part of the
Teledyne Defense Electronics
Group, today announced recent contract awards totaling $7.4 million to provide
numerous
PowerMAX SSPA (solid state power amplifier) systems over the course of the next
two years.
The largest single award of $5.9M calls for multiple PowerMAX SSPA systems to
be deployed by the customer to support Telemetry, Tracking, and Control (TT&C)
and broadband data transmission for satellite communications during an ongoing expansion
of teleport facilities.
The PowerMAX systems from Paradise are a proven, mature platform for global satcom
OEMs and service providers with over 60 similar systems deployed throughout North
America, Europe, and Asia.
"For many years our PowerMAX indoor and outdoor systems have been the technology
of choice for satcom providers because of the fault tolerant architecture that ensure
maximum reliability," said Mike Towner, Senior Director of Sales and Marketing for
Paradise. "The fact that there is no single point of failure existing anywhere in
a PowerMAX SSPA system makes this platform very popular for applications where reliability
is Job One."
PowerMAX systems deliver complete parallel redundancy down to the embedded control
level, thus allowing continuous remote communications with the system even in the
event of the loss of an entire amplifier. A modular N+1 soft-fail, phase-combined
system, PowerMAX is typically used as a "self-redundant" system and can be sized
so that even with the loss of an RF module, the system automatically adjusts to
maintain constant output power without the need for mechanical switching.
A powerful monitor and control system enables customers to operate a PowerMAX
system either locally or remotely, and as a single rack or a multi-module array.
Unlike a common rack system, the modules are contained in an integrated frame that
is designed to facilitate removal and replacement of a module with minimal effort.
All of the PowerMAX systems are manufactured out of the Teledyne High Power Center
of Excellence in Rancho Cordova, California.
