TT&C Command Receiver

Telemetry, Tracking and Command Units

KONGSBERG delivers advanced command receivers, telemetry transmitters, and transceiver units designed for both SmallGeo and GEO telecommunications satellites. Each product features built in frequency flexibility, enabling wideband in orbit selection of uplink and downlink frequencies across L-, S-, C-, X-, Ku-, K+, Ka-, and Q bands.

Systems can be configured for single, dual, or fully agile frequency operation, offering a wide in orbit tuning range of up to 2 GHz bandwidth on the transmit side. With late stage, flexible on ground frequency setting, programs gain adaptability without impacting schedules. Leveraging standard, on stock crystal oscillator frequencies, KONGSBERG reduces lead time while maintaining full ESA and multi prime environmental qualification. 

Supporting a 28 V to 100 V bus range and already accepted by major satellite operators and primes, these units deliver unmatched versatility, reliability, and readiness for modern telecom missions.
