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.
