An innovative
manufacturer
of advanced aerospace products.
Sattel Technologies, headquartered in Los Angeles, developed
and manufactured satellite telecommunication products between 1984 and 2001 that remain in
worldwide use today. Sattel's founder and CEO was George Weischadle, a pioneer in
commercial satellite systems who helped to design America's
first satellite network,
WESTAR, and
Asia's first satellite network,
PALAPA. Mr. Weischadle holds
degrees in electrical engineering, business, and law.
The company made history when it purchased an
in-orbit telecommunications satellite from an insurance group, brought it back to
earth on the Space
Shuttle through a venture with NASA, then refurbished and
relaunched
it in cooperation with Hughes Aircraft and McDonnell Douglas Corp. to become the world's first reconditioned satellite in space.
Still in service today, the Palapa B2-R satellite has a unique
history.
 Sattel's customers and vendors
include major government telecom network operators worldwide, NASA,
McDonnell Douglas and Hughes Aircraft Co. Our accomplishments include
the first digitally-implemented
Intelsat Super-VISTA satellite
modem; the first commercial implementation of European GSM standards on
satellite links; and the largest Demand Assignment
Multiple Access (DAMA) public telecommunications
system of its time,
interconnecting developed and developing countries with disparate
public telecom
network signaling standards.

Our new venture
SafeLink, Inc. is applying advanced aerospace technology to new wireless
security solutions.
SafeLink will enable persons and assets to be located indoors and
out, seamlessly throughout metropolitan areas, with none of the limitations inherent in
GPS
and cellular geo-location technologies. GPS and cellular will never work
this well indoors. SafeLink is actively seeking
companies interested in assisting with product development.
SafeLink's revolutionary
indoor security services
are made possible by our team's unique experience in aerospace, RF and signal
processing technologies.
The SafeLink wireless security system will provide
seamless metropolitan area security both indoors and out to help keep
families connected and secure at all times and to enable a new generation of
consumer products that "can't be lost"sm.
A "wireless lifeline",
SafeLink will
afford parents and caregivers the ability to locate their young children and
other at-risk persons whenever desired, whether they are across the street or
across town, even if they are unable to assist others in locating them.
Such
powerful security has not been available until
today, and one can think of few needs that are more important to our
society.
Thank you for your interest in our products.
As we progress we will post updates to our Web site.
