Advantech Wireless Increases the Delivery Rateof its World Leading GaN Technology Based SSPAs and BUCs for Maritime Applications
Montreal, CANADA – August 12, 2015 – Advantech Wireless, a global leader for satellitebroadband communications solutions, announced that in the last fiscal quarter it has delivered several hundred units of its World Leading GaN Technology based SSPAs and BUCs for maritime applications.
The new generation of GaN based SSPA/SSPB/BUCsfrom Advantech Wireless offers an impressive increase in RF Linear Power performance, while reducing the energy consumption, weight and overall size.
Advantech Wireless’ delivery of its GaN based C-Band, Ku-Band, and X-Band units for yachts, luxury cruise ships and military vessels, has increased geometrically in the last few months.These units are specifically designed for maritime applications, where bandwidth demand has grown well beyond initial expectations, and where the high temperature in aradomechallenges the reliability of high power amplifiers and frequency converters.
“The unitsize in maritime applicationsis extremely important for perfect balancing on stabilized antenna systems. To survive within the stifling environment of a radome, the heat generation has to be minimized. Therefore, the improved reliability and smaller size of our New Generation of GaN based SSPAsallow perfect integration into maritimestabilized antennas,” saidCristi Damian, VP Business Development at Advantech Wireless. “Our GaN based SSPAsare gaining overwhelming market acceptance, theyhave beendeployed and installed on thousands of vessels with outstanding performance. Our field MTBF has nowreached over 200,000 hours of operation in very challenging environments.We are proud to offer our customers innovative solutionswith impressive cost savings and solidquality.”
