TECOM INDUSTRIES
DESIGNS HATCH MOUNT INMARSAT ANTENNA
FOR C-130 SECOMP-I PROGRAM

On wave of strategic wins, TECOM has been chosen to provide next generation Aero-H antenna for our Special Forces.

Thousand Oaks, CA—November 10, 2003, TECOM Industries, Inc., a TRAK Communications company, today announced it has been chosen to provide a hatch-mounted high gain INMARSAT antenna (T-4220) assembly for use on the C-130 SECOMP-I program.

The T-4220 Aero-H antenna consists of a High Gain Antenna (HGA) Assembly, Beam Steering Unit (BSU), and Diplexer/Low Noise Amplifier (DP/LNA). The antenna array assembly is a repackaging of the previously designed T-4000 HGA and the IGA-2000 intermediate gain antennas. It provides excellent gain and low angle coverage in a much smaller form factor than traditional Aero-H phased array antennas.

"TECOM's T-4220 provides all of the benefits of a high gain phased array antenna system such as high reliability and no moving parts in a form factor small enough to be mounted on the hatch of a C-130. It is an excellent addition to our INMARSAT product line", said Elissa Seidenglanz Director, Business Development TECOM Industries Inc.

TECOM is a leading supplier of INMARSAT antennas for both commercial and military applications including Aero-H, Aero-I and Aero-L antennas.
