VertexRSI C240MT Trailer Mounted Satcom Terminal
The VertexRSI C240MT 2.4-meter Trailer Mounted Satcom Terminal is designed for worldwide
transmit and receive operation in C, X, Ku and Ka-band. This
mobile terminal consists of a 2.4-meter tracking antenna
mounted on a rugged chassis equipped with a generator and
environmentally controlled rack enclosure. This configuration
results in a low-weight tow package with superior features
and high performance under wind-loading conditions. The
accurate reflector surface provides exceptionally low sidelobe
and cross-polarization performance well within INTELSAT
and EUTELSAT requirements. The interchangeable feeds
are palletized for quick, easy removal and replacement,
allowing the end-user to effectively change frequency bands
in the field within minutes. HPAs can be boom mounted for
minimal WG losses per the customer’s requirements. The
onboard generator provides power to the UPS, ECU, and
all the rack-mounted equipment located in the 38 rack-unit
electronics enclosure. The entire terminal can be controlled
through the M&C system as part of the 323T tracking
controller (optional). The commercial 323T ACU provides
auto-acquisition and several optional tracking algorithms
including adaptive tracking in high winds.
