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. In the center of the Silicon Valley, AnaCom uses automatic pick and place assembly on our printed circuit boards, casting and CNC machining for our housings. Final test and calibration are done automatically via computer. Statistical Process Controls is applied to produce the goal that “Not only do we want good products, we want uniformity on our quality across all of our product lines.” This has further increased the high quality and reliability of AnaCom's RF/microwave and networking products.

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