“This is a perfect marriage between two highly complementary companies,” said Mark Siegel, president of ABS. “By joining forces with ASTI, we are expanding our portfolio of services and expertise to encompass satellite antenna uplinks, receivers, and distribution networks that route satellite signals throughout a customer’s facility. In turn, we at ABS can contribute systems integration services, such as designing and building broadcast studios, to ASTI’s broadband satellite customers.” In business since 1982, ASTI’s services span engineering and consulting, system design, installation, maintenance, sales and service. ASTI’s customer base includes broadcasters, such as Seattle-based Fisher Broadcasting, KIRO AM and KING FM radio, and Radio Disney; as well as corporations such as Microsoft, Boeing, and Real Networks. For Microsoft, in Redmond, Washington, ASTI recently built a 2,500-receiver system that is capable of looking at eight different satellite antennas simultaneously from offices on its corporate network — making it the largest, most complex installation of its kind in the world. ASTI also installed satellite antenna farms for low-power television stations for various remote Alaskan villages.
