The crew behind
the dish.
BYRD BRAINS MEDIA, LLC is a Utah limited liability company operating ground infrastructure at 702 S Carterville Rd, Orem, Utah 84097. The station runs on a simple doctrine: the sky keeps a schedule, and somebody has to be awake for it. Every pass we support is scheduled, acquired, logged and handed off — on the record, every time.
A schedule, a scope,
and a logbook.
Band A is the access desk: dial-up and online access plus VoIP, delivered over telecommunications connections the client supplies — we run the service layer, the client keeps the carrier relationship. Band B is the hardware: earth stations and radar operations under site coordination.
Band C is the contract work: satellite telemetry and tracking executed against your pass schedule. Every engagement produces a record — AOS, TCA, LOS, signal quality and anomalies — that belongs to the client.
A pass that isn't logged didn't happen. That's the station rule.
Three orders the
station runs on.
Every pass gets a log.
Acquisition, closest approach, loss of signal, signal quality and anomalies — recorded per pass and delivered to the client. If it isn't in the log, it isn't billable, and it isn't real.
The client keeps the license.
Spectrum authorization, frequency coordination, FCC/ITU filings and export-controlled data rules belong to the licensed party. We operate stations and services inside that authority — we don't manufacture it.
Say the outage early.
Weather, hardware and geometry all take passes away sometimes. When a window is lost or degraded we report it on schedule, not after — with the cause, the impact and the next opportunity.
How a contact moves
from schedule to record.
Five beats per pass — so a client always knows where their window stands.
Asked on the net.
What does "client-supplied telecommunications" actually mean?
For access-band services — dial-up ISP, online access and VoIP — the underlying telephone or data circuit is supplied by you (or your carrier). We operate the service layer on top: authentication, routing, VoIP termination and the accounts. We are not a facilities-based carrier and we don't resell circuits we don't own.
Who holds the spectrum license on a tracking contract?
You do — or your licensing authority. Satellite telemetry and tracking engagements run inside your frequency authorization and coordination. We operate the ground equipment, execute the pass and deliver the log; the regulatory burden stays with the licensed party.
What documentation comes with a telemetry pass?
A pass record: scheduled window, AOS/TCA/LOS times, signal quality, anomalies, and the data handoff confirmation. Longer engagements get weekly rollups. Records belong to the client — we keep operational copies for quality and billing.
Do you operate 24/7?
Pass coverage is scheduled — satellites keep their own hours. The ops desk answers business inquiries weekdays 08:00–17:00 MT; scheduled passes are staffed around the window, whatever the clock says.
Can you take over an existing station or contract mid-mission?
Often, yes. Send the current configuration, coordination status and pass schedule — the crew will assess whether our bands, hardware and procedures can assume the support, and what the handoff requires.
