Transmitter Location Systems, LLC (TLS) is a satellite radio interference geolocation company based in Chantilly, Virginia, U.S.A.
TLS's only business is geolocating the source of satellite radio interference, including one incident when a base in Cuba was jamming U.S. satellite broadcasts to Iran.[1] [2] TLS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Inteferometrics, Inc., a science and engineering company.
The company's technology was created from early research in radio astronomy. TLS owns several U.S. patents on geolocation technology. It sells and operates a commercial system called TLS NexGen, and provides a 24/7 geolocation service for satellite operators world-wide.
The company also provides various services supporting communications analysis.
