Globecomm Gets The ASC Signal

ASC Signal Corporation, formerly Andrew Corporation Satellite Communications Group, now has an agreement with Globecomm Systems, Inc. (GSI). The company will supply commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) antenna products in support of a recent, major award to GSI by a global multilateral organization. The potential revenue is $30 million over a three-year period. ASC Signal’s antenna products will allow Globecomm Systems to deliver a range of enhanced services and offer further support to their global customer. ASC’s antenna products will be supplied under a three-year IDIQ (Indefinite-delivery / indefinite-quantity) contract. These products include their 3.9 Meter F-1 compliant C-band Trifold® transportable antenna product and their 4.9 Meter Intelsat E-2 Ku-band type approved motorizable antenna


ASC Signal’s 3.9 meter antenna features a wide range of adjustment with the ability to view geostationary satellites, horizon-to-horizon, from any global location. Its unique Trifold® reflector panels are cut from a single piece of precision spun aluminum. The 4.9 meter, Intelsat E-2 type approved, Ku-band earth station antenna was developed for maximum accuracy and versatility. This low-maintenance antenna features a dual reflector Gregorian system that provides excellent pattern characteristics and high gain. Equipped with a self-aligning main reflector, it is also capable of reception and transmission for quad-band C-, X-, Ku- and Ka-band configurations. Previously, ASC Signal has supplied antenna products to GSI for the company’s other global projects—Garner, North Carolina
