Simulsat

The Simulsat antenna is capable of simultaneously receiving signals from up to 35 satellites within a 70-degree view arc, providing uniform performance across the arc. It is an alternative to an antenna farm that would require multiple individual antennas. The Simulsat saves space, installation costs, and provides easier maintenance compared to an antenna farm. Major customers of the Simulsat antenna include cable television providers, broadcasters, universities, and various government and military organizations.

What is Simulsat

How Simulsat Views 35


Satellites Simultaneously

Simulsat is the worlds only true full-arc multiple satellite


antenna that is capable of receiving satellite transmissions
from 35 or more satellites simultaneously, without
adjustment or degradation in performance from one satellite
to the next. Simulsat is 2 compliant with the ability to
capture signals from all C & Ku Band satellites within a 70
view arc.

Installation & Engineering Services provided by ATCi:


Over the last 20 years, ATCi has been the world leader in
multibeam technology, and the Simulsat has provided
programming to more than 30 million cable subscribers in
the U.S. and abroad.

70 View Arc
The unique design of the Simulsat captures signals
across a 70 view arc. All satellites are received with
uniform performance.

Because satellite programming is constantly changing,


satellite broadcast users need to constantly adapt to new
and different channels and satellites. Simulsat antennas have
long provided the ultimate multibeam antenna solution to
these needs. The Simulsat improves users ability to take
advantage of immediate and future revenue opportunities
without the need for an antenna farm and without the
trouble of additional permits or foundations that multiple
antennas require.
Many systems have retrofitted parabolic dishes with dual or
triple feeds in order to view more than one satellite.
Multi-feed parabolics can view satellites across a 10 arc.
However, since parabolics have but one true focal point, the
adjacent satellites are offset, resulting in a degradation in
reception quality on the fringe satellites. The Simulsat
receives all satellites across a 70 arc with uniform
performance.

Up to 35 Focal Points
Each satellite illuminates a specific area on the
Simulsat. The signals reflect to their corresponding C
or Ku-Band feed and then are relayed to your receiver.

The Simulsat curbs real estate costs because it is the size of


about 2 parabolic dishes of equivalent performance. For
those who are faced by high land costs and limited space,
Simulsat is the solution.
Available in 3 different size and performance variations, the
Simulsat is the ultimate solution for Broadcasters, Cable
Television, Universities/Distance Learning, Television and
Radio, Military/Government and Business Corporations with
multiple satellite reception requirements worldwide.

Uniform Signal Reception


The Simulsat design recreates the signal capabilities of
35 C/Ku Parabolic antennas with consistent signal
quality across the entire arc.

Simulsat Solution vs. The Antenna Farm

Saves Space
One Simulsat does the work of 35 parabolic antennas in the total coverage area of about
3 parking spaces.

Visual Appeal
Simulsats single antenna approach is more aesthetically pleasing than an antenna farm.

Sees More Transponders


Simulsat receives nearly 1,000 satellite channels simultaneously. Parabolic antennas only see
24 - 32 transponders at a time.

Saves On Mai ntenance


Simulsat is a fixed antenna. It is not necessary to move the antenna as programming changes
from satellite to satellite.

Lowers Overall Costs


Return on initial investment is immediate.
