TRANSMITTER
LOCATION
SYSTEMS, LLC
has resolved more than
12,000 interference incidents worldwide and continues to extend its
capabilities.
Sources of interfering ground-based transmissions are determined
through an effective suite of TLS products and services.
TLS NexGen
Today, nearly all major commercial satellite operators
have installed legacy TLS Model 2000 or TLS NexGen
geolocation systems as part of their in-house command and control
operations.
The TLS NexGen uses state-of-the-art
algorithms and techniques to determine the location of signals
being carried over a satellite transponder.
TLS NexGen is the only satellite
interference geolocation system
available today that can operate in distributed mode, where
geolocation measurement data is collected by two geographically separated
ground receivers. With its technological sophistication,
experience-based performance features, and 24/7/365 protection, the
TLS NexGen geolocation system has become
the worldwide standard for interference resolution.
Single Satellite Ephemeris Solution (SSES)
is an optional software product that extends the capability of the
TLS NexGen geolocation system by enabling
the it conduct an accurate geolocation solution with the orbital
elements of only one satellite.
Without SSES, TLS NexGen
requires orbital elements for the satellite receiving the interference
as well as for a workable adjacent satellite that
receives sidelobe energy of the offending signal. SSES,
through the application of advanced algorithms, generates
geolocations based on inputs containing the orbital elements
of only one of the two satellites
(usually the adjacent). The Single Satellite Ephemeris
Solution software product is a useful addition for
TLS NexGen satellite operators for whom
orbital elements of adjacent satellites are difficult to obtain.
TLS
Global Network
TRANSMITTER
LOCATION
SYSTEMS, LLC
addresses
the problem of worldwide interference with a global network
of TLS processing stations.
Through our Global Operations Center in Chantilly, VA USA,
the one-of-a-kind TLS Global Network provides satellites
around the world with the ultimate defense against
communication interference,
unauthorized transponder use, and intentional disruption
of transmissions.
Airborne TLS
FINAL SEARCH
For extreme interference scenarios,
TRANSMITTER
LOCATION
SYSTEMS, LLC
has developed an airborne surveillance technique called
FINAL SEARCH.
This technique is used
when interference sources don’t match up with the locations
in a satellite operator’s customer database.
Since its inception,
FINAL SEARCH.
has never failed to provide the exact ground location of an
interfering antenna.
Fly-Away
TLS
The growing use of regional and spot beams
on geosynchronous communications satellites makes it increasingly
possible that the downlink beams of the interfered or adjacent
satellite does not overlay the location of existing TLS
TLS NexGen installations. In cases where an incident of
interference occurs outside of an area covered by existing
standard or distributed TLS TLS NexGen
systems, the transportable "Fly-Away"
TLS NexGen
system can be rapidly deployed to the site and quickly
installed to resolve the interference incident.
