Overview
AvL’s 1.35m Tri-Band X, Ku, Ka antenna is full-featured with a two or three-case pack-up. When equipped with AvL’s power supply and customer choice of modem this rugged and sturdy antenna transforms into a complete terminal ideal for C4I, ISR backhaul and other missions. Various outdoor modem types are available and the user can bring their own modem as the antenna operation is modem and ODU agnostic. The antenna controller will automatically acquire and track a satellite beacon with internal receiver. Easy to use hand wheels allow for smooth, zero backlash manual positioning as well. Very quick set up combined with intuitive graphical user interfaces allow the user to be on the air within minutes. Built-in flexibility allows users to change satellites, polarity, frequency and modems in just a few minutes.
