Why It Matters
TEKNOFEST is a festival that aims to showcase Türkiye's domestic production capacity in the field of aviation, space and technology. Profen Technology is a company specialized in satellite communication systems.
Aviation, Space and Technology Festival (TEKNOFEST), of which Anadolu Agency (AA) is the "Global Communication Partner" and carried out by the Ministry of Industry and Technology and the T3 Foundation, welcomes its visitors at Şanlıurfa GAP Airport.
The high-speed positioner developed by Profen Technology engineers is used to track aircraft and satellites by enabling faster and more precise orientation of moving antennas.
The system establishes telemetric communication with low orbit (LEO) satellites at an altitude of 400-450 kilometers, allowing information such as location, temperature and speed to be transferred to the ground station.
The positioner, which has been sold more than 10 times to countries in the Middle East and Europe, attracts the attention of visitors at TEKNOFEST Southeast.
Engineer Muhammed Yige told the AA correspondent that they developed the system to enable faster and more precise rotations of moving antennas.
Stating that the positioner was developed entirely by Turkish engineers, Yige stated that the vibration that may occur during tracking was reduced thanks to the mechanical system and control software.
Stating that the system can be used to track satellites in low orbit as well as moving aircraft, Yige stated that the product can be designed to meet different demands according to need.
Yige stated that the positioner is preferred especially in the Middle East and noted that the system is used in tracking communication satellites in low orbit and communicating with ground stations.
Muhammed Yige said:
"We can say that this product, which was released 2 years ago, has been produced more than 10 times and is used in the field, where orders are still coming and production continues. It is a product designed for low orbit satellites, which we call LEO satellites, located at an altitude of 400-450 kilometers in the sky. In other words, we can say that its range is 400-450 kilometers. It is a system that communicates with them very easily telemetrically and downloads information such as location, location, temperature and speed to our ground station on earth."
