The SafeLink Team

 

Our engineering team is creating a
new industry in personal location services.

Our highly experienced engineering team founded and ran a successful aerospace development and manufacturing company that has generated in excess of $150 million revenue and delivered satellite telecommunication products to major customers worldwide.    

Our CEO is George Weischadle, founder and President of Sattel Technologies and a pioneer in commercial satellite systems who contributed to the designs of America's first satellite network, WESTAR, and Asia's first satellite network, PALAPA.  

Sattel Technologies made history when it purchased an in-orbit telecommunications satellite, brought it back to Earth on the Space Shuttle, then refurbished and relaunched it to become the world's first reconditioned satellite in space.  Still operationsl today, the Palapa B2-R satellite has a remarkable and 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 world's largest Demand Assignment Multiple Access (DAMA) public telecommunications system, interconnecting developed and developing countries with disparate public telecom network signaling standards. 

Abacus Programming Corp., a well-established software and systems development company, is the implementer of SafeLink.  Since 1966 Abacus has provided design and development services on major programs.  Currently these include the U.S. Space Shuttle, the U.S. Space Station, the U.S. Army Future Combat Systems, the U.S. National Missile Defense System and projects involving systems engineering and software development for major communications satellite systems.  In addition, Abacus is involved in verification and validation of systems and software for NASA ventures in planetary exploration and space science.  Abacus and Sattel have worked together since 1985.
