variety and orbital placement," said Kevin Hatch, Engineering Director, ATCi. 
"Consequently, the demand for multiple satellite reception capability without
degradation of performance has dictated the need for an even more enhanced
multibeam. ATCi has designed and engineered the next generation Simulsat-5b
antenna to meet those demands as well as to enable our customers to take

additional permits, foundations, and antennas," concluded Hatch.
