Containerized 4.5-Meter Antenna
The containerized 4.5-meter tracking antenna is part of a highly mobile data reception and tracking system that operates in a “one box, one station” mode.
The entire tracking system equipment, including the 4.5-meter A- E-T three-axis parabolic antenna, is integrated inside a standard 6- meter shipping container, allowing for transportation by road, rail, or air.
When the containerized mobile station antenna equipment is deployed, it can achieve satellite tracking with no blind spots overhead. The system has independent operational capability. During operation, the 4.5-meter antenna is fully raised outside the container and can automatically fold and deploy within the specified range of motion. The entire system can become operational in less than 20 minutes.
