The 3.8 m Drive‑Away Antenna is designed for vehicle‑mounted SATCOM applications requiring high capacity and flexible multi‑band operation. Its large‑aperture reflector and precision drive system support stable, automated acquisition, while tool‑less RF kit changes enable rapid adaptation across frequency bands. Engineered for reliable performance and straightforward integration, the 3.8 m Drive‑Away is well suited for high‑duty, on‑the‑move 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.
