JOIN USAfter three years of intensive research, the Hyderabad-based Avantel Limited has finally developed an indigenous Mobile Satellite System (MSS). The MSS is in compliance with the demanding military standards for avionics equipment, the company's founder and Managing Director A Vidyasagar said on Saturday.
Avantel had entered into a technology transfer agreement with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Department of Space, for the development of Type-C terminals for one-way messaging, in 2000.
He said the company has secured business worth around $2.2 billion for MSS, from Boeing, USA, to install the system in P-81 maritime Reconnaissance Aircraft for the Indian Navy.
Vidyasagar said the MSS system will be delivered to Boeing on Monday at a function here in the presence of Minister of State for Defence M Pallam Raju.
Radio system
The Avantel chief said the company has also developed ultra high frequency radio systems for voice and data communication in ships and aircraft, offering a low-cost solution to meet the Indian Navy's requirement.
The company has also been conducting research on the next generation satellite.
“We have developed systems by using seven layer security aspects with the standards of military,” company's founder and Managing Director said.
