The 2.4 m FlyAway Antenna is designed for high‑capacity SATCOM applications requiring rapid deployment and reliable performance. Its large‑aperture, segmented design supports efficient transport and fast setup, while automated acquisition enables quick network access in the field. Flexible multi‑band RF configurations and precision drive control make the 2.4 m FlyAway well suited for demanding, high‑throughput communications.
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.
