Thousand
Oaks, CA (September, 2005) - TECOM
Industries, Inc., a leading manufacturer
of antennas and antenna systems, announced
that Rockwell Collins has entered into a long term Purchase Agreement for the HGA-2100 High Gain Antenna to meet the Boeing 787 SATCOM High Gain Antenna requirement. The HGA-2100 is the latest addition to TECOM's line of Satcom antenna products. This Best-in-Class low profile, fuselage-mounted antenna delivers significant improvement in performance and reliability for aircraft owners and fleet operators that are considering next generation on-board INMARSAT communications. The HGA-2100 supports both voice safety services and cabin connectivity including internet access and sending and receiving of e-mails and faxes.
Ralph Phillips, TECOM's President, stated "this strategic win positions TECOM as the leading supplier of fuselage-mounted, low profile INMARSAT Satcom antennas. This program win is the first major selection of the HGA-2100 and validates our modular technical approach. As part of the Smiths Group, TECOM benefits from their outstanding worldwide customer service and product support organization".
The HGA-2100 is based on advanced third generation phased array technology. The HGA-2100 delivers higher data throughput and low angle coverage than existing Aero-H antennas.
Unique features of the HGA-2100 include a fully integrated beam steering unit (BSU) that simplifies installation of the system. At 2.0" high, 14.4" wide and 41" long, this new product is a low profile and light weight (22.0 pounds) phased array, meeting operator demands for reduced drag and fuel consumption. The HGA-2100 will be certified to RTCA/DO-160D environmental and will be the first antenna TSO'ed to C-132. Other products in TECOM's Satcom antenna product family include the IGA-2000 Aero-I Intermediate Gain antenna, a smaller derivative of the HGA-2100 to meet both business and regional operator and military hatch mount requirements, and the T-4000 Aero-H High Gain antenna. |
