Introducing Alico' s X-band SATCOM On-The-Move Terminal Product Line

Alico Systems is introducing the Small Aperture X-band SATCOM-On-The-Move Terminal named as SAXBA (see data sheet). It is being developed for use in next generation Blue Force Tracking (BFT), and Command, Control & Communications (C3) applications. The terminal is based on state of the art phased array technology with an embedded networking modem, autonomous antenna pointing & stabilization system and plug and play IP networking capability. The terminal has a small foot print of 10.75"x10.75"x5.5"H and provides full hemispheric coverage.  Designed to operate on the DoD's Wideband Global System (WGS) and Loral's XTAR satellite constellations. This WGS SATCOM-On-The-Move (SOTM) terminal is the smallest MILSATCOM terminal on the market. Recently completed on the move satellite testing with XTAR (see online article). Product deliveries available from October 2011.

Come see us in SATCOM 2012 at the Washington DC Convention Center from 12 to 14 March 2012

Introducing Alico' s OMAP FPGA Sensor Development Kit Product Line

Alico Systems is introducing Kinetic 3500 (see data sheet) – The turn-key embedded development kit based on open-source software for Texas Instrument's OMAP3530 processor. Equipped with working applications and software drivers for onboard peripherals, Kinetic 3500 allows developers to focus time and resources on development of product differentiation features.  This reduces time learning the fundamentals of OMAP, writing basic software drivers, or getting up to speed on information about open source software. The kit is integrated with standard peripheral interfaces, GPS, gyroscope, magnetometer, accelerometer, and temperature sensors, enabling immediate evaluation and development of OMAP’s applications. The robust Web based GUI provides extensive diagnostic and configuration capabilities.  The onboard Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA gives developers the capability to implement custom hardware functionality and signal processing algorithms without actual hardware redesign.  Flexibility and rapid prototyping offered by the FPGA provide added benefits to the overall product development cycle including minimal redesign of hardware, faster time-to-market, and field upgrades.  Alico Kinetic 3500 is an ideal platform for early and rapid prototyping.
