“We have a peculiar situation…”
At Skywire Design, we get excited about conversations that start this way and the opportunities they present to create solutions where none exist. Solutions such as:
• Radome fire detection system with automatic shutdown for air-circulation systems.
• Custom low-temperature heater controller in Alaska.
• Radome deicing with gas leak detection.
• User interface for radome power distribution, fire detection, security, environmental control, and status monitoring.
Other successful projects include:
• Sized and configured equipment shelters for SATCOM antennas, including power, cooling and ventilation, equipment rack configuration, and complete signal path design (cable and waveguide).
• Facility electrical upgrade overseas.
• RF and antenna integration on sites around the world.
• Design of power distribution , grounding, and UPS/generator emergency power for multiple US military installations
• Improved rotary joint mounting to simplify and reduce cost of installation and critical on-axis alignment.
• Project engineering for fan-free electronic cooling in a desert environment, mobile (wheeled) antenna platforms, flyaway antenna configurations complete with signal transmit and receive integration kits, heater control for both antenna and radome deicing, and upgrades for manufacturing a family of planar array radar antennas.
• Site power (MV & LV) distribution.
• Designed and manufactured control panel for radomes for sustainable, maintainable smoke/fire detection and reporting, and manual or automatic interaction with ventilation systems during alarm.
• Monopulse antenna controller at United States east coast teleport.
• Mobile platforms for commercial and military communications.
• Developed easily serviced smoke and fire detection system that conveniently solved an old problem with such detection in antenna radomes.
