The Norsat NewsLink™ is the first complete system to be
designed from the ground-up to deliver broadband television
broadcasting in a portable, rugged, and easy-to-use package.
Only Norsat offers a complete solution including a carbon fiber
segmented antenna, aluminum tripod, MPEG-2 encoder, DVB-S
modulator, laptop controller, system power supply, and full
Ku-band RF chain with SSPA that packs into just three airline
checkable cases. Norsat is also the first in the industry to
incorporate an easy-to-use graphical user interface for antenna
alignment, spectrum analyzer, and transmitter and modulator
control.
Only the Norsat NewsLink™ provides a quick assembly antenna
platform that can be setup in 5 minutes without tools. It comes
complete with a compass, inclinometer, and GPS to aid in
alignment. The sophisticated Norsat NewsLink™ software makes
antenna alignment easy for even novice users through its
alignment wizard, beacon detector, and built-in spectrum
analyzer. To further simplify operation in the field, a full range of
settings can be pre-configured in user selectable profiles before
the Norsat NewsLink™ is sent out on an assignment. The Norsat
NewsLink™ is truly changing portable satellite communications
by eliminating the need to include an RF engineer on every
assignment.
