VertexRSI announced today it has received Intelsat Type Approval for its 2.4 SFC C-Band antennas and Europe*Star Type Approval for its 3.8-Meter Dual Offset Ku-Band antennas.

Intelsat Type approval certificate numbers IA094A00 and IA094B00 have been received for the 2.4 SFC (Switchable Flyaway C-Band) antenna in Circular (CP) and Linear (LP) polarized configurations. Europe*Star's Type Approval ES-ME-29 has been received for VertexRSI's 3.8 Ku-Band antenna and feed with two-port linear polarization.

Jeff Porter, Vice President and General Manager of VertexRSI's Antenna Products, said, "Type Approval certificates are important to our SATCOM customers. By selecting these VertexRSI antennas, they will benefit from guaranteed acceptance into the Intelsat or Europe*Star network and lower their commissioning costs by significantly reducing or totally eliminating the requirement for field verification testing. The success of our type approval program is directly related to our ability to produce quality antennas with repeated precision."

VertexRSI also announced significantly reduced lead-times -- from 16 to as many as 31 days -- for a number of 4.8-Meter antenna configurations and options. Jeff Johnson Product Line Director, said, "We are continuing to make our 4.8-Meter products available with greatly reduced lead times for delivery. We are encouraging customers to call us with their requirements so that we can give our best estimate for expedited delivery even on those products that have traditional lead times of 45 days or more"
