AvL's Newest FlyAway Antenna: the 2.0m Ultra Light

At the SATELLITE 2018 show, AvL debuted the new 2.0m Ultra Light Manual FlyAway Antenna, which is the most compact 2.0m antenna available. The antenna offers performance comparable to competing 2.4m lightweight antennas with a small pack-up.

The antenna features a carbon fiber 2-piece hub and 12-piece reflector, and an RF package with a BUC located behind the hub to make it highly configurable. The antenna can be assembled and on-network in less than 25 minutes, and it packs into two checkable transit cases with each weighing less than 100 lbs.
