| ERA Technology is providing innovative satellite communication antennas to Norsat International of Canada in full support of Norsat’s recently announced orders for Norsat NewsLink™ portable broadband satellite terminals, totalling $6.6million for the US Government.
The combination of ERA’s lightweight, segmented Ku-Band diamond antenna and Norsat’s rugged, compact communications terminal provides high performance, broadcast quality satellite connectivity in a highly transportable package. The NewsLink™ is ideal for use in locations where no other satellite infrastructure is in place and can be easily deployed in a variety of extreme environmental conditions.
ERA and Norsat have been working together since 2002 when, following an extensive due diligence exercise by both companies, an exclusive agreement was signed to integrate the ERA antenna across the Norsat OmniLink™ product range.
Dr Robert Pearson, Head of Antenna Systems at ERA, said, “ We are delighted to be working with Norsat on the delivery of the NewsLink terminal. Our two companies collaborated closely on the development of this product to ensure that the system offers high performance and is easy to use.”
