GEO FLYAWAY ANTENNAS & TERMINALS

1.55m Tri-Band High-Wind Manual FlyAway Terminal

The 1.55m Tri-Band High-Wind Manual Fly-Away Terminal offers a small package with big gain. This flexible user-defined terminal platform has an integral ruggedized folding quadpod for a small lightweight pack-up and is optimized for high wind performance through enhanced wind struts and tie down provisions. This manual point flyaway antenna includes coarse and fine adjustments and easy-to-read scales for Az/El/Pol adjustments. The reflector is optimized for compact pack-up and tri-band performance with X-, Ku- and Ka-band (commercial and MIL). All feed/RF band kits interchange quickly and easily without the need for tools. The terminal can be configured with AvL’s Terminal Interface Unit (TIU) which simplifies pointing without the use of a spectrum analyzer and includes a graphical user interface for drop down satellite selection, GPS location, and pointing instructions including elevation readout and signal strength monitor.
