AnaCom is a leader in the design and manufacture of satellite communications equipment. Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, AnaCom provides complete solutions for satellite communication based networks for broadcast, data and voice communications.

AnaCom’s RF/microwave products consist of Anasat Transceivers, ELSAT BUCs, SSPAs, LNAs and other accessories covering C, Ku and X band frequencies in power levels from 4 Watts to 400 Watts. Anacom’s RF/microwave products have been deployed all over the world in demanding environments for mission critical applications.

AnaCom's high-reliability RF/microwave products are matched by our Kromos high-reliability IP networking solution. Kromos IP gateway is a native IP platform that intelligently combines routing, TCP acceleration, a satcom modem, DAMA capability, frequency-agile bandwidth aggregation, priority for real time applications (e.g. voice, video,) a complete VoIP solution, and a complete suite of network management capabilities all in one box. The Kromos product family also provides the IPX switch capable of routing and terminating VoIP phone calls for large satellite based telephony networks. Together with our family of RF/microwave products, we provide a complete suite of satellite networking solutions and a single vendor convenience.

AnaCom is known throughout the Satellite Communications industry for providing high performance products that are extremely reliable and available at a low cost. AnaCom's products are sold worldwide to most satellite communications systems providers, integrators and end-users.

Technology
AnaCom's design philosophy has been to "design in: reliability, quality, ease of operation and low cost." AnaCom's architects designed in a level of performance, reliability, quality and cost reduction unmatched by industry peers. All AnaCom RF/microwave products, from BUCs to Transceivers, are designed for outdoor installation, and perform with excellent reliability in environments ranging from desert to arctic, humid to dry, and stationary or mobile.

AnaCom's product lines of BUCs, SSPAs, and Transceivers all have a built-in set of multilevel self-test diagnostics and endure rigorous testing, including environmental, shock and vibration, final test, and a quality control inspection.

To ensure performance for the long term, AnaCom's Transceiver contains only three modules: a power supply, up and down converters and a power amplifier, which incorporates the monitor and control (M&C) functions.

AnaCom's Kromos line of L-Band and 70 MHz IP modems give the user unmatched features and capabilities. These are no ordinary satellite modems, but native IP gateways with powerful network management functions. If you are looking for a field-proven, high-speed satellite solution, you need look no further than the Kromos IP Modem.

Operations
Manufacturing facilities are located in a technology campus in San Jose, California. AnaCom's up converter and down converter, and monitor & control printed circuit boards are automatically assembled by outside vendors. Final test and calibration are done automatically via computer. This, in addition to increasing the capacity of production and strict adherence to Statistical Process Controls, has further increased the high quality and reliability of AnaCom's RF/microwave and Kromos networking products.

Installed Base
AnaCom today has a huge installed base of equipment covering the entire world. Whether it be a mountaintop in the Himalayas, an oil platform in the Gulf, or a wildfire in your state, behind the scenes - AnaCom is at work.
