A Moving Event For MTN Satellite Services

MTN Satellite Services, a SeaMobile Company and global service provider of at-sea communications, connectivity and content services, is relocating its Caribbean Ku-band services from the Atlanta, Georgia, teleport to Steele Valley, California.

The Atlanta area, known for severe weather conditions in the summer, has occasionally caused degradation of MTN’s Ku-band services in the Caribbean. To reduce signal attenuation and improve service, MTN has migrated its uplink facility to the Steele Valley teleport near Los Angeles, due to its naturally dry climate. In addition to relocating services, MTN will continue to use Automatic Uplink Power Control (AUPC) systems to maximize quality of service. In the presence of signal variations due to weather degradation, AUPC systems increase transmitter power levels to maintain signal quality.
