AvL’s Ku-Band Auto-Acquire Mobile VSAT FlyAway Terminals are self-contained with electronics within the terminal cases. These transportable terminals pack into two rugged ATA-compliant cases, and can be set-up by one person and on-air in less than 10 minutes. The 1.2m terminal standard operation is Ku-band with optional operation in MIL X-band, and the terminal is Ka-band and FirstNet ready.

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.
