AvL’s 1.35m XY Band-Configurable GEO-MEO-LEO-HEO Tracking Antenna is transportable and features tool-less assembly and rapid set-up. The antenna operates with an XY positioner to eliminate overhead pass keyhole and its uniquely shaped optics enable high G/T. The carbon fiber reflector is segmented for compact pack-up and the integral base is a non-penetrating tripod. The antenna operates in X-, Ku- or Ka-band with AvL’s antenna control system embedded in the base positioner.

The AvL antenna control system is embedded on the antenna with a built-in compass, GPS and tilt compensation. The auto-acquisition controller is ethernet based, modem agnostic, OpenAMIP compliant, up-to-date with the latest cybersecurity, and operates with a web-based user interface that can be used on a phone, laptop or PC. The controller includes a satellite profile management system, a built-in AvL carrier/beacon receiver with an optional rack-mount interface panel or outdoor rated power supply and offers intelligent tracking and multi-orbit capabilities. Power requirements vary by antenna.
