Terrasat Communications, a privately-owned US company, has been manufacturing microwave and satellite RF equipment since 1994. In the early days of the life of the company, the business model was designing microwave RF modules and Block Upconverters (BUCs) to customer specification. In 1997 we designed and began manufacturing a line of our own branded satellite BUCs for C and Ku-band. Then in 2002, seeing the growing opportunity to replace RF Transceivers or rack-mount converters and SSPAs we launched the Power-Plus BUC for higher power C, X, and Ku-band applications. The Power-Plus introduced basic Management and Control (M&C) features, new to the industry.
