The company’s UAV-based solutions are utilized by the satellite and defense industries to comprehensively test and validate satellite ground segment antennas and RF equipment.
Quadsat’s solutions are mobile, configurable, RF measurement systems that offer a broad range of antenna tests, measurements, and spectrum monitoring capabilities in real-world environments. The custom-built payloads are able to measure, detect, and emulate RF signals across a wide range of frequency bands. Quadsat is working with major satellite operators, to provide a simplified method of testing for the antenna registration process.
