CPI... Has The Touch + Gives You The Power With TouchPower™ (Touchscreen TWTAs)


[SatNews] “Configurable color displays let the user select which parameters are seen, and our SCOPESCREEN feature provides charts and graphs that display amplifier performance over time."

The Satcom Division of Communications & Power Industries LLC (CPI) is introducing its new TouchPower™ line of touchscreen TWTAs at this week’s Satellite 2014 Conference and Exhibition, held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC. CPI’s latest high-power amplifier (HPA) represents a significant step forward in rack-mount traveling wave tube amplifier (TWTA) design.


CPI’s new 750 W TouchPower TWTA, available in C-, DBS- and Ku-bands.

“CPI’s newest HPA combines the latest developments in touchscreen technology with other technological innovations to dramatically improve ease-of-use and to maximize the value of the amplifier by reducing cost of ownership,” said Colin Eastment, vice president of business development at CPI Satcom Division. “Configurable color displays let the user select which parameters are seen, and our SCOPESCREEN feature provides charts and graphs that display amplifier performance over time. In addition, TouchPower™ amplifiers are available with CPI’s patented LifeExtender™ innovation, the only technology in the industry today that actually increases TWT cathode life by up to 50 percent. CPI also offers a companion feature called LifePredictor, which enables users to better plan TWT maintenance over time.”
