[SatNews] Look for a small barn up front at this show, complete with straw bales for you to sit on and rest your feet while enjoying some down-home Americana fiddle and banjo music.

Why, you may ask? Well the reason is that the latest in 1.8-meter transportable satellite technology from Norsat International Inc. will be hiding in plain sight at the show, thanks to the work of ConcealFab Corp. of Colorado Springs, Colorado, at booth #901. The barn is actually a ConcealFab radio-frequency transparent antenna enclosure designed to protect and conceal sensitive communications equipment from detection. ConcealFab products are manufactured from UV-protected, maintenance-free PVC technology, engineered and pre-fabricated into everyday structures that blend into the environment.

Concealed in the barn at this year’s 30th anniversary conference is a Norsat 1.8-meter SigmaLink™, the latest in a series of rugged transportable satellite terminals designed to be up and running in minutes with simple setup and alignment features for broadband connectivity on prolonged missions. The Satellite 2011 Conference and Exposition is scheduled March 14-17 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.
