Satcom products and networks

ACORDE is a leading designer & manufacturer of High-Tech RF / Microwave equipment, mainly for satellite communications (SATCOM), having a global product range BUCs, SSPAs, LNBs, transceivers and frequency converters, in all satellite frequency bands for both commercial and military applications: C, X, Ku & Ka bands.

ACORDE has a comprehensive line of Ka Band BUCs, SSPAs and LNBs with output power of 5 W, 10 W and 20 W. Now designed in a light weight and compact package, the ACTX-Ka series is a competitive solution for low power-low cost Block Up Converters. Its also available, frequency selectable, WGS compliant ACLNB-Ka series LNB.

ACORDE offers innovative 1:1 protection systems and IP M&C (telnet, ssh, web, SNMP) interface as standard along with RS485/232.

ACORDE offers satcom subsystems and terminals: fixed VSAT , portable (satcom manpacks) and mobile(satcom on the move); that enables operators, system integrators to build broadband satellite networks in Ka, X and Ku bands.

Custom designs

ACORDE has a high expertise in custom design to adapt existing products to the specific necessities of each client.

ACORDE can provide Build-to-Spec design services acting as original design manufacturer (ODM), allowing Custom Design of specific products for special applications, fulfilling client individual specifications, working from DC up to Ka band, developing own power supplies and control cards to solve specific requirements.

Moreover, custom design covers various stages of the product design cycle, from product specification, prototyping, full-scale development, production transfer and product improvement. This ACORDE can start with just a product requirement, or with a specification paper that needs to be prototyped. ACORDE can take over the design activities from your selected point in the product development cycle.

Some examples are equipment and components for aircraft radio communications: transceiver and amplifiers in C, Ku and Ka band for Airborne Applications. These robust terminals have been installed in airplanes and UAVs due to its rugged and compact mechanical design. Therefore, the SSPAs have been designed to meet the electromagnetic compatibility requirements of MIL-STD-461D for Aircraft, Army including Flight Line.

	Acorde implements an AcorLan® solution to provide Broadband Services in Santander and the surrounding municipal areas:
	The Operator Acorde has started to provide wireless connectivity services in Scamander and the surrounding municipal areas, via an AcorLan® solution. Acorde has laid down its own network based on Wimax technology from its Base Stations permitting the clients of the zone to enjoy broadband wireless connectivity coverage among their different emplacements. This is all possible in an immediate way, given that Wimax, as well as guaranteeing the necessary connection rates for any type of voice/data communication, minimizes the implementation of physical infrastructures. This service is ideal for those applications which need connectivity among remote buildings, where the client does not wish to lay down their own network. By simply incorporating a Wimax client in the emplacements, connectivity can be provided from the first day, following some security criteria guaranteeing the reliability of the solution. That is to say, with a small investment in hardware and paying a monthly fee for emplacement, the client can have a comparable solution to a traditional landline without needing to carry out work which slows down the incorporation of the solution. The service also makes it possible to implement a WiFi net within the local emplacements, enabling the incorporation of value added services such as IP Telephone, Security, any type of WiFi peripheral, control of sensors, etc.

WIMAX

WiMAX technology is likely to substitute almost all other wireless access technologies given that it provides high bandwidths with a long range, as well as proportioning a pure IP environment, which in turn enables the establishment of stable, economical point-to-point links (connection among headquarters, streaming of video cameras, etc) or point-multipoint links (one antenna serves multiple users). These possibilities are principally used by telecommunications operators to provide voice, video or data services to residential or business customers.

WiMAX architecture is structured in a similar way to traditional mobile networks, with a point-to-multipoint architecture. It has coverage of 20-30 km, under LOS, although this varies depending on the type of terrain, range of frequencies used, and transmission power and receiver sensitivity.

In conditions of NLOS, it is based on architecture that takes advantage of the most modern signal processing and antenna design techniques, which enable the use of rebound of the signal to manage to maintain the connectivity. In these cases a connection up to 3-5 kilometers can be achieved.

Moreover, although it is nowadays in the standardization phase, mobile connectivity is a possibility, which constitutes a serious alternative to mobile telephony. In the coming years, the first WiMAX terminals will appear as telephones, PDAs or laptops.

WIFI-MESH TECHNOLOGY

This technology offers numerous advantages, given that it provides access to internet with low-cost installation, as it is unnecessary to do cabling work to connect the nodes with the computers. Access to the net is only the first of the services that can be offered, as the net itself can be used for transmitting voice, video and data applications.

As an example, consider in a network formed by six nodes. It can be seen that each node establishes communication with all the rest. If this diagram seems to become complicated, imagine what it would be like if the number of nodes were several hundred.

Version Española

This system developed by Acorde, permits the installation of a new generation of solar parks; incorporating new solar trackers, although it also permits the use of conventional solar trackers. In any case, the system developed by Acorde enables these solar trackers to be much more efficient than the traditional fixed installations.

This leads to an increment in production as the targeting of the sun is always almost perfect (0.1º error at most), as the system is capable of carrying out the control of both azimuthal and zenithal movement of the tracker. To achieve this resolution, two circumstances must be fulfilled: position sensor system must provide sufficient resolution and the mechanical system installed must allow these movements to be made.

Our system is prepared under any climatic conditions as it is protected by an IP65 electrical cupboard. It facilitates the assembly as it incorporates fast connectors; it also eases maintenance as it indicates the situation of the system with lights. It is also envisaged for solving situations in which the wind puts the system in danger, by deciding to put the system in flag (horizontal position) or not.

It allows us to obtain the record of any variable of the system either locally using a memory card or sending the records via its own wireless communications system, developed by Acorde. This option opens up the possibility of using remote control in the system.

Moreover, this system is completely compatible with our broadband connectivity product AcorLan®. Thanks to our long experience in this type of installations, we have opened up a new security line Acorde Seguridad focused on security solutions tailored to Solar Parks, based on advance image analysis systems and autonomous or wireless solutions. (AcorSegur®). These solutions have been approved by the largest insurers of this type of installations as the most appropriate ones for protecting the investment in their Solar Parks.
