      [Via Satellite 03-12-2015] O3b Networks has selected AvL Technologies to design and build the transportable terminal antenna system for use with O3b’s Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellite network. The program calls for AvL to develop and manufacture the hardware and software for a family of earth station antennas that will enable O3b’s customers to rapidly deploy systems to take advantage of its network.

      “These high performance transportable antennas are designed to acquire and track the O3b satellites as they move across the orbital arc,” said Mike Proffitt, president of AvL Technologies.
