    Broadband Antenna Tracking Systems, Inc. (BATS)

    The BATS solution is an innovative technology that optimizes the reliability of any broadband radio by locating, locking and tracking any broadband communication system, for both mobile-to-stationary and mobile-to-mobile applications.

    BATS integrates your broadband point-to-point radios with its pan-tilt aiming chassis using tracking technology to create search patterns and predictive algorithms that automatically locate a desired connection point, establish communications and track performance, even if one or both of the wireless broadband radios is moving. End result: users are achieving dramatic increases in distances and capabilities of their broadband communications equipment, with rapid deployment.

    Technology and Tracking Overview

    Because BATS combines the benefits of a point-to-point system with mobility, it focuses a radio signal into a narrow beam, so the connection can be maintained over longer distances and is less vulnerable to interference. Stationary systems or moving vehicles can obtain real-time access to data, Voice-over-IP (VoIP), and streaming video—for a wide variety of applications.

    Business Problems Solved

    • It is difficult to manually align antennas.
    • You require rapid deployment of your wireless network.
    • The systems have unknown or little information associated with the direction to friendly access points, or need auto repositioning.
    • There are limited skilled resources to deploy wireless systems.
    • Your network requires frequent antenna re-alignment due to natural causes or equipment movement.
    • You need mobile-to-mobile broadband communications over long distances utilizing directional antennas.

    Markets Served

    • Oil and gas exploration and production (offshore and terrestrial).
    • Military (land, air, sea, e.g. ship-to-air/shore, air-to-air/ground, pilotless drones to attack helicopters.
    • Homeland Security (border and port).
    • Emergency response and temporary communications.
    • Maritime.
    • Construction.
    • Mining, agriculture, and rural development.
    • Rural markets (ISP coverage for homeowners, communication on large farms).

    Antenna Tracking System Features 360-Degree Rotation

    Broadband Antenna Tracking SystemsIntroduced in spring 2010, the BTS-3300 System is a next-generation self-aligning antenna and tracking system with 360-degree continuous rotation designed by BATS. BATS technology will automatically reposition the directional broadband antenna to track mobile devices or access points, and continuously optimize the connection for maximum throughput. This unique tracking capability is an industry-first feature that allows moving vehicles to obtain real-time access to resources inherent to broadband communications, including data, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), and streaming video.

    The BTS-3300 is an open platform and can integrate seamlessly with any wireless broadband radio/antenna combination, in any frequency. The system can be rapidly deployed as a rack-mount unit or a hardened stand-alone appliance.

    Additionally, the BTS-3300 has been highly optimized and significantly reduces the time and technical skills required to deploy. Once it has been configured, the system can be operated remotely via the BATS comprehensive remote management system.

    The BTS-3300 is ideal for oil and gas exploration, offshore and terrestrial production, military, Homeland Security (border/port), emergency response, maritime, construction, mining and agriculture applications.

    Features

    • Can be used with any broadband radio in any frequency.
    • Easy to deploy.
    • Remote management via IP.
    • Automatic failover feature.
    • 360-degree continuous rotation.
    • Accuracy within .25 degrees of pinpoint.
    • Provides significant cost savings through man-hour savings.
    • Ultra-rugged to withstand the harshest environments.
