GEO FLYAWAY ANTENNAS & TERMINALS

60cm Tri-Band Manual Backpack FlyAway Antenna

AvL’s 60cm ultra-light flyaway antenna has an 8-piece carbon fiber reflector and compact one case or backpack pack-up. The antenna can be set-up by one person in minutes and operates in Ku-, Ka- or X-bands with feed rotation for polarization and easy pointing and fine tuning.

KEY FEATURES
  • Ultra lightweight – weighs <35 lbs. packed into an airline carry-on compliant nylon backpack
  • Packs into commercial airline carry-on sized case
  • Fast interchangeable feed system with tri-band capability: operates in Ku-, Ka- and X-bands; DBS capable
  • Robust 60cm segmented 8-piece carbon fiber reflector for operations in harsh conditions
  • Standard 2-port Precision Ku-band feed (standard cross-pol comp.)
  • Easy pointing and fine-tuning Az/El positioner
  • Feed rotation for polarization
  • Manual actuators enable full range of motion
