Antenna Technology Communications Inc. has announced KDDI has selected the Simulsat C/Ku for its newest teleport facility. KDDI, the only Japanese information and communication company providing communications service from fixed to mobile, integrated the Simulsat C/Ku into its Yamaguchi, Japan teleport. Simulsat C/Ku is designed for international applications. With its ability to receive information from as many as 35 satellites simultaneously, Simulsat technology is one of the key components in KDDI’s mobile communications infrastructure. Because of their success with the Simulsat 7 they had integrated into their Ibaraki facility, KDDI decided to again select ATCi and Simulsat technology for their newest location. In addition to providing the equipment, ATCi partnered with NEC (NESIC) to integrate the Simulsat with a customized heating kit as well as fiber optics into the customer’s existing M&C system, allowing for remote monitoring from their corporate headquarters in Tokyo—Phoenix, Arizona
