QuadSAT System
Offering convenience and accuracy
QuadSAT introduces an airborne antenna and tracking test system. With the QuadSAT system, antennas can be tested anytime and anywhere. The system can perform a broad range of testing missions to suit your needs, whether out in the field for operational antennas or in the testing phase for new antennas.
Operationally
flexible
The QuadSAT system can be used anytime and anywhere.
Time
saving
Save time when testing antennas and tracking solutions.
Cost
effective
Save money by reducing logistics and test time.
With a QuadSAT system, tests are performed where and when needed reducing operational expenditure.
QuadSAT facilitates R&D programs and reduces time to market.
Data is gathered in situ, with the benefit of minimising maintenance time and costs, meanwhile enhancing reliability and overall performance.
Initially serving the satellite communication industry, today QuadSAT is looking at a number of different industries.

Creating more accessible test data
The number of antennas deployed globally is growing and so is radio frequency interference (RFI). Most RFI arises from poorly performing or badly installed antennas and can cause connection failures and lowered bandwidth. Currently, antennas are tested in conventional test ranges prior to network deployment in order to prevent these malfunctions. However, this procedure is expensive, time- consuming, and a logistical challenge. QuadSAT introduces a UAS based system to offer location- independent antenna testing. It is an innovative solution that allow for increased test measurements in the SATCOM and RADAR industries.
QuadSAT’s unique solution enables a range of on-site measurements such as antenna radiation patterns and antenna alignment. The payload mounted on the drone enables maximal location flexibility. As a mobile test-facility, it can operate anywhere in the world on antennas of all sizes.

Sattelite
By using the QuadSAT system, satellite operators can ensure fewer network outages, increased network throughput and reliability as well as an overall better commercial performance. The QuadSAT system can ensure the optimal performance of satellites and antennas without generating interference in the spectrum.
Defence
The QuadSAT system offers an airborne payload system and intelligent software solution that automates precise diagnostics and monitoring of the radio spectrum. This enables defence organisations to verify that satellite communications equipment is operating optimally under in-field conditions, whether on land, sea or air, before going into operation. It also enables users to detect and manage degradation before failure, thereby maintaining defence mechanisms.
Other
As well as being used in the satellite and defence sectors, the QuadSAT drone-based system for testing antenna, satellite and RF diagnostics can also be used across a range of other sectors including wireless, broadcast, aerospace and maritime.
