Overview
AvL’s 90cm Compact FlyAway SNG/Mil antenna systems offer superior performance in a truly compact, lightweight and portable package. The Model 9066 antenna systems can be packed into backpacks or cases and flown or carried anywhere, then set up and operational within minutes.
AvL’s FlyAway SNG/Mil antennas are designed to meet and exceed the highest performance requirements around the world to guarantee both satellite authority compliance and peak in performance, reliability and availability.
Each Flyaway Antenna is priced to include the AvL carbon fiber antenna and auto-acquisition controller for ease of operation. As with all AvL antenna systems, no laptop is necessary to operate the controller, the antennas interface with any modem, RF electronics, or satellite service.
