Products
Calquest
Amt-5o Multi Channel Aero H/H+ Antenna
The AMT-5O Multi Channel Aero H/H+ Antenna is the world's
smallest,
lightest and most affordable Satcom Antenna ever designed and
marketed for use with Inmarsat ARINC 741 Satcom Avionics.
Siu-ioda
An interface unit which allows for high level encrypted phone
calls to be placed or received anywhere within the MSAT coverage
area.
Atlut-500s
CAL's Advanced Technology Local User Terminal (ATLUT) is a
fully-automated high performance satellite ground earth station
with an exceptional, proven capability to monitor, receive and
process distress signal relays from COSPAS-SARSAT Satellites.
Wide Band Processor
A high speed digital receiver and data input processor.
It accepts the baseband signal from each satellite in the
COSPAS-SARSAT network and processes the signal data in real-time
as it is received.
Sarsat Antenna Sub-system
Designed specifically for use with the ATLUT to reliably track
satellite transmissions from any location in the world.
Surveillance And Communication Systems
CAL provides advanced surveillance and communications systems
with full integration and training through its network of
suppliers and contractors.
This service includes the provision of sensors, aircraft,
communications, vessels, vehicles and other equipment.
Calquest Cabin Network Unit
The Calquest Cabin Network Unit (CNU) is a small, lightweight way
to easily interface up to eight WH-10 compatible hand sets with
up to two Calquest satellite communications (SATCOM)
transceivers.
Thin Route Fixed L-band Satcom Antenna
Cal's Thin Route Antenna is a high gain helix antenna designed
to provide reliable L-Band Satcom services for fixed
installations in remote locations.
It is suitable for integration with Inmarsat or MSAT - type
terminals supplied by qualified vendors.
Low Angle Coverage Land Mobile Satcom
Vehicle Mounted Antenna
Model LM5 - 25FBO1
This antenna is a low profile unit designed to provide satellite
communications from moving land-mobile vehicles.
The antenna tracking mechanism maintains accurate satellite
tracking during vehicle motion and satellite blockage
Inmarsat - M Land Mobile Vehicle Mounted Antenna
Inmarsat - M Land Mobile Vehicle Mounted Antenna
This antenna is a high gain, low profile antenna unit designed to
provide Inmarsat-M satellite communications from a variety of
land mobile vehicles such as trains, trucks and cars.
The antenna incorporates a RF subsystem comprising a low noise
amplifier (LNA) and diplexer as well as a beam steering
subsystem.
Antenna Sub-system
The Calsar antenna's small size, innovative design and light
weight allows for easy installation, without structural
modifications, in virtually any location, including rooftops.
It is extremely resistant to high wind loading. Controlled by a
small stepper motor using digital components, its low weight
allows the motor to smoothly drive the elevation over azimuth
positioner through the range of motion required to track Cospas
and Sarsat satellites
S-band Data Relay Satellite User Transponder
This equipment is a stand alone, non-redundant, dual standard
TT&C Transponder intended for small satellite users.
Force Moment Sensor
Cal's Force Moment Sensor located in the latching end effector
measures forces and moments applied to the end of the space
station remote manipulator system
Radarsat Sar Antenna
Cal Corporation meets the challenge : Design and build
radarsat's 15 metre by 1.5 metre lightweight deployable antenna
array with precise phase and amplitude control to meet all the
competing requirements of Canada's advanced 5.3 GHz space-based
synthetic aperture radar.
Operation Control Console
Designed for use in Mission Control Centres, the OCC is an
automated support system which automatically receives and
processes incident alert data from a Local User Terminal and/or
other Mission Control Centre.
Sarview Information Management System
A computerized information system used by operators in Rescue
Co-ordination Centres to help plan and carry-out their search and
rescue operations.
Buffer Amplifier
As part of Canada's contribution to space station, Cal
Corporation has developed and space-qualified a 1553B Buffer
Amplifier. Its function is to bidirectionally buffer 1553B
signals passing between two data buses. The buffer amplifier
consists of three circuit card assemblies: The input power
switch, the Power converter; and the buffer amplifier.
