Servo Based Antenna Controller RC4600
Servo Antenna Control Unit for Mobile and Deployable Satellite Antenna Systems
Building on the long history of RCI antenna controllers, the RC4600 combines the familiarity and ease of use of all RCI controller with the extreme performance of servo-based position holding. The RC4600 is available in a 2RU rackmount configuration or a made to order IP67 rated outdoor enclosure to meet all mobile, transportable, and fly-away antenna needs.
