1.8m 1878K Mobile VSAT
The Model 1878K mobile broadband antenna system is a motorized, palletized Ku-band antenna. The 1878K provides connectivity in remote environments worldwide where larger aperture antennas are desired to combat rain-fade and weaker satellite signals.
Some of the standard features include:
- One button auto-acquisition controller
- 400 degree azimuth range
- Hand cranks on all axes
- Integrated GPS
- Level sensors for automatic vehicle tilt compensation and automatic cross pol alignment

General Information |
|
A cost-effective solution to SNG, the antenna acquires the satellite in a matter of minutes utilizing the one-button auto-acquisition controller, thereby eliminating the need for a trained satellite technician. The AvL Cable Drive cable drive, while reducing backlash to zero, is durable and highly-resistant to environmental factors including extreme heat, cold, dust, and pollution.
- Reflector: 1.8m Single Skin Steel
- Feed: Precision Horn, 0.6 F/D
- Optics: Offset, Prime Focus
- Drive System: Patented AvL Cable Drive Positioner
- Mount Geometry: Elevation over Azimuth
- Polarization Adjustment: Rotation of Feed Controller
- One-Button Fully Automatic Satellite Acquisition
