Hiltron Reports Strong Attendance And Positive Engagement

Hiltron Communications has reported a successf

ul showing at this year’s Space Tech Expo, held at Messe Bremen from November 18 to 20. The event drew nearly 1,000 exhibiting companies and space-focused organisations across five halls, supported by a full schedule of conference sessions throughout the three-day exhibition.

Hiltron exhibited as part of the DeSK (Deutsches Zentrum für Satelliten-Kommunication e.V. – the German Center for Satellite-Communications) pavilion, a collaboration the company says helped spark productive discussions with existing and prospective customers, as well as a wide range of satcom industry partners. According to the company, the event attracted visitors from across Europe and beyond, reflecting sustained demand for satellite technologies across an expanding array of applications.

The company emphasised its long-standing expertise in systems design and integration—an area that has established Hiltron as one of Germany’s leading satcom and wireless communication system integrators. Its capabilities span satellite uplinks for television, radio and data services; VSAT systems; TVRO solutions for cable headends and terrestrial retransmission sites; satellite monitoring systems; digital satellite newsgathering; fibre-optic links; and dual-band motorised mounts for C-band and Ku-band antennas up to 4.9 metres in diameter.

Hiltron also highlighted its portfolio of in-house–developed products, originally engineered for bespoke projects and now available as standalone components or integrated into larger systems. These include the HMAM motorised antenna mount, the HMAM-PM motorised polarmount antenna, the HACU antenna control unit, the HRMU redundancy and monitoring unit, the HMCS-MCR monitoring and control system and the HDCU de-icing control unit.

A focal point of the stand was the latest-generation HMAM-XY motorised antenna mount. First introduced at IBC Amsterdam in September 2024, the HMAM-XY is now a key part of Hiltron's product range. Designed for both receive and transmit applications, it offers high pointing and tracking precision with low backlash and full hemispheric coverage without zenith keyholes. The system incorporates high-accuracy absolute-reference encoders, supports tracking velocities up to 10 degrees per second with 6 degrees per second squared acceleration and 0.05% accuracy, and provides an elevation range of +5 to +175 degrees with continuous 360-degree lateral rotation. It is compatible with L, S, C, X, Ku and Ka bands using linear or circular polarisation, with optional multiband capability. Operation is handled through Hiltron’s HACU antenna control unit, which features TLE/NORAD tracking functionality.
