Harris has received Type Approval for its Large Aperture Multiband Deployable Antenna (LAMDA) terminals from Intelsat, the world's largest provider of fixed satellite services. The announcement was made during the Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA) Winter Symposium, being held March 7-9 at the Broward County Convention Center in Ft. Lauderdale.

Type Approval is an independent, third-party evaluation that certifies the LAMDA terminal meets the high standards requirements for RF performance and production quality. The approval followed an evaluation by the Global VSAT Forum (GVF), an independent, non-profit association of key companies involved in delivering advanced, digital, fixed satellite systems and services directly to consumers as well as to commercial and government enterprises worldwide.

The GVF consists of more than 90 members from every major region of the world and from every sector of the industry, including satellite operators, manufacturers, system integrators and other service providers

"The Type Approval of our LAMDA terminal is an important designation that confirms the product meets stringent requirements for interoperability, interchangeability, production methods and technical performance," said Sheldon Fox, vice president and general manager of Department of Defense Programs, Harris Government Communications Systems Division.

"We are very pleased to be able to provide the LAMDA terminal's advanced, highly mobile tri-band satellite communications capabilities to military customers around the world."

The LAMDA is an enhanced version of the field-proven Harris Lightweight High-Gain X-Band Antenna (LHGXA) terminal. It provides field units with a highly mobile, user-friendly, large aperture tri-band (C-, X-, and Ku-band) terminal that withstands the rigors of harsh operating environments.

The LAMDA supports tri-band operations by utilizing interchangeable antenna feeds that can be rapidly installed by operators in the field. Harris recently delivered the first dozen of 39 LAMDA terminals that will be utilized by the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Air Force for multiband, highly mobile satellite communications connectivity.
