Ignition ICT / RF & satellite engineering

Precision RF engineering. Reliable connectivity..

Independent RF and satellite engineering expertise covering antenna systems, satellite terminals, connectivity infrastructure, testing, fault-finding and commissioning. Ignition supports demanding installations where measurable performance and reliable operation matter.

• RF testing, measurement and fault-finding

  Occupied bandwidth, channel power, harmonics, spurious emissions and intermittent interference measured in the field, supporting frequency planning, fault isolation and evidence-based commissioning.

• Antenna installation, alignment and integration

  Antenna type, polarisation, mounting position, separation and feeder routing engineered around frequency, coverage and the physical environment, then installed, aligned and peak-verified on site.

• Satellite communications across LEO, MEO and GEO

  Multi-orbit architecture for resilient connectivity, integrating LEO, MEO and GEO services with terrestrial WAN links and managed failover between them.

• RF surveys, mapping and coverage analysis

  Predictive planning and on-site measurement working together: coverage, channel overlap and signal strength mapped against how spaces are actually used, verified back with post-installation mapping.

• Feeder and cable testing, including FDR

  Frequency Domain Reflectometry produces distance-to-fault results across coax and antenna systems, locating poor connectors, damaged cable, water ingress and impedance changes along the transmission line.

• Return loss, VSWR and RF performance measurements

  Return loss and VSWR swept and documented against distance and frequency, confirming the RF path meets its design before sign-off.

• Link-budget analysis and connectivity troubleshooting

  Transmit power, antenna gain, cable and connector loss, path loss, fade margin and receiver sensitivity modelled to establish operational margin, then used to isolate underperforming links.

• Satellite terminal integration and commissioning

  Satellite terminals integrated with the wider network and WAN estate, commissioned end to end and verified against the design before handover.

• Technical reporting and documented acceptance testing

  Test traces, measurements and commissioning results compiled into technical reports that provide a baseline for acceptance, handover and future maintenance.
