SINGAPORE, June 16, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Wavestream Corporation (www.wavestream.com), a manufacturer of compact, highly efficient solid-state power amplifiers, today announced that it will introduce its new line of 500-watt C-Band solid-state power amplifiers (SSPA) for a variety of commercial and military applications at CommunicAsia, June 17-20, 2008 in Stand 6J1-01 at the Singapore Expo in Singapore. The 500-watt C-Band product line is based on a highly efficient SSPA and is a unique offering for satellite and troposcatter communications.
Using Wavestream's Spatial Power Advantage(tm) technologies, the company has been able to pack 500 watts of solid-state output power at 1dB compression into a rugged unit. The product line's form factor and weight make it ideal for replacing tube-based amplifiers of up to 1,000 watts.
"With the introduction of our new 500-watt C-band product line, we are expanding the scope of our business from the Ka- and Ku-bands and offering our customers a larger portfolio of solutions, which now also address a variety of satcom and troposcatter C-band frequency applications," said Chris Branscum, CEO of Wavestream. "Our new 500-watt C-Band troposcatter SSPA enables a transportable troposcatter terminal system versus a fixed location system, significantly increasing the mobility of these systems for military efforts. The high-power capabilities of our 500-watt C-Band satcom version make it ideal for satellite communications applications in tropical locations such as Asia, North Africa and the Middle East. We believe the addition of this C-Band product line will help to better serve our current customers."
