GEO FLYAWAY ANTENNAS & TERMINALS

2.4m Quad-Band Quadpod High-Wind FlyAway Antenna

The 2.4m Quad-Band Quadpod High-Wind FlyAway Antenna is a robust flyaway antenna designed for military applications. The offset antenna operates in C, X, Ku or Ka-band and operates when anchored in 60mph winds gusting to 80mph (97 kph gusting to 129 kph). The positioner features an AvL Cable Drive azimuth positioner with an elevation machine screw. The quadpod antenna packs into 11 rugged weather-resistant aluminum cases.

Designed for operations that demand maximum stability and assured connectivity in challenging environmental conditions, AvL’s 2.4m FlyAway High‑Wind Antenna delivers reliable SATCOM capability for ruggedized and militarized terminal deployments. This large‑aperture system provides enhanced link margin and consistent performance for high‑capacity, multi‑band missions, supporting protected and government networks. Engineered for field deployment with automated acquisition, it enables teams to establish communications with confidence while maintaining the structural integrity required for high‑wind operation. Transportable and case‑packed for airlift, the 2.4 m FlyAway integrates into robust terminal architectures where durability, performance, and network assurance are critical.

AAQ Controller
AvL’s AAQ Antenna Controller is a flexible, cost‑effective embedded control system designed for transportable satellite antennas operating in harsh environments. Its compact pedestal‑mounted architecture streamlines cabling and supports a broad range of antenna types while enabling fully automatic acquisition—including one‑button deploy/acquire and automated azimuth, elevation, and cross‑polarization peaking. Integrated GPS, electronic compass, and attitude sensors with auto‑compensation ensure accurate pointing, and a built‑in receiver provides precise peaking on satellite beacons or live data carriers. Customer‑configurable target profiles, OpenAMIP support, and both Web‑based and .NET GUI control interfaces give users a flexible, modern operating environment tailored for rapid and reliable operation.
