Glowlink, a provider of satellite ground equipment, announced Oct. 31 that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office was granting its patent for satellite uplink power control (UPC) technology.

The technology achieves fast and accurate control of transmit power for satellite traffic without causing transponder compression or saturation. Built into the company’s Model 3010 and Model 3000 UPC products, the technology is applicable across all standard satellite transmission frequency bands, including the environmentally vulnerable Ku- and Ka- bands, Glowlink said.
