Satellite In-orbit Test Equipment
SED has been providing world class satellite test technology
since the late 1970s. We now supply a broad range of products to
support satellite testing, communications payload monitoring,
carrier monitoring and remote earth station verification
testing. We also provide expert assistance in satellite test
campaigns.
Our In-orbit Test Systems are used after launch of a
communications satellite to verify payload performance meets
specifications. Our systems use swept techniques and optimized
algorithms, resulting in faster, more accurate measurements.

|
| |
Satellite Spectrum Monitoring Systems
The Satellite Spectrum Monitoring System (SSMS) is used to
monitor communications traffic through satellites.
The SSMS is capable of measuring a number of parameters and
characteristics of the traffic, displaying the information, and
may be remotely controlled and operated from any location.
Now operating in five continents, these systems provide
automated monitoring of satellite traffic in order to
effectively manage the use of communications payload resources.
In addition to the standard configuration, these systems are
also available in a transportable version, facilitating
verification and monitoring of spot beam satellite systems.

Satellite Command And Control Systems
The communications link between mission control facilities and
the spacecraft, our Telemetry Tracking and Command Systems are a
vital part in the management of space resources. We are
providing systems for applications ranging from satellite
communications and remote sensing to the control and monitoring
of deep space instruments.
We can also include a variety of satellite control functions
such as command management and flight dynamics by integrating
proven off-the-shelf software packages into the system.

|
| |
Satellite Check-out Equipment
SED has provided specialized ground support equipment (GSE) for
space programs for over 15 years. Relying heavily on custom real-
time software, these systems are used during the integration and
test of spaceflight hardware, and have supported a wide range of
applications including communications satellites and payloads,
remote sensing payloads, space robotics, and space science
instrumentation.

|
| |
Satellite Feeder-link Stations
Our Feeder Link Stations transmit audio and data to orbiting
satellites which in turn, broadcast the signals to large
regional audiences. Whether for television or digital radio
applications, SED's up-link systems provide flexible, reliable
service to the broadcast industry.
|
|
| |
Network Management Systems
Network Management Systems provide network-level support and
control of satellite communications systems, including VSAT
hubs, Network Control Stations and Network Operations Systems.
SED has been providing network management systems for over 10
years.

Custom Electronic Manufacturing
SEDs manufacturing operation produces high reliability
commercial, military and aerospace equipment in low to medium
volumes. We are fully qualified and equipped to manufacture
multi-layer thru-hole, hybrid and surface mount technology (SMT)
circuit card assemblies, complex wire harnesses and cable
assemblies. We have an extensive inventory of calibrated state-
of-the-art test equipment for testing, tuning and
troubleshooting digital and RF electronic assemblies. We are
well equipped for high frequency RF work up to 20 Ghz. In
addition to building SED designed systems, we perform contract
manufacturing services on a consignment or turnkey basis for
commercial, military and aerospace customers. We are registered
to ISO 9001 and have an Aeronautical Appliance Approval from
Transport Canada.

Satellite Operations Services
With the launch of RADARSAT in 1995, SED controls and monitors
the satellite in orbit under contract to the Canadian Space
Agency. SED's team of more than 30 engineers and technicians,
located at CSA headquarters and at SED's facility in Saskatoon,
have expertise in payload and bus engineering analysis, orbit
prediction and maintenance, and payload scheduling.
