Yahsat Project Finds EM Solutions Playing RF Ro


EM Solutions 40W BUCs EM Solutions has been awarded an initial contract by Astrium UK Limited for supply of Ka-band RF equipment, which is to be incorporated into a Yahsat Ground and Naval System program, which will form part of a new communications system in United Arab Emirates (UAE) for the Yahsat Project.

EM Solutions will supply 40W Block Upconverters (BUCs) and Block Downconverters (LNBs) for Ground and Naval terminals. In August 2007, Al Yah Satellite Communications Company (Yahsat), a wholly owned subsidiary of Mubadala Development Company, awarded a contract to a joint team of Astrium and Thales Alenia Space to build their US $1.66 billion (AED 6 billion) dual satellite communications system ready for launch in the second half of 2010.
