0.9/1.2 Meter Quick Deploy Auto Acquisition Antenna
The 0.9/1.2 Meter Quick Deploy Auto Acquisition Antenna is a compact, portable satellite communication solution featuring automatic signal acquisition. Designed for rapid deployment and ease of use, it caters to field operations, emergency response, and remote communications, offering reliable connectivity and high-speed data transmission in diverse environments.
0.9 m for lighter transport. 1.2 m for higher published Ku-band gain.
Both models use motorized positioning and one-button satellite acquisition. The published data sheets list Ku-band linear receive/transmit performance, DVB-S1/DVB-S2 acquisition by beacon or modem outputs, carbon-fiber reflectors, WR-75 CPR feed interfaces and IP65 protection.
