SATELLITE TRACKING SOLUTIONS

Safran Data Systems’ Cortex HDR is your solution forhigh data rate transmissions in X, Ka and wider bands.
With more than 1000 Cortex HDRs deployed worldwide,
this is the risk-free solution for data reception for yourground station.
Tailored for future generations, it can handle high speed
demodulation of up to six channels with an aggregate
bit rate as high as 10 Gbps. With its flexible satellite checkout interfaces, it will make your next mission qualificationeasier and faster.
