[SatNews] Target satellite acquisition in an average of 35 seconds by this Company's new antenna terminals...

Agile Milcoms announced at Milcom 2011 they are exhibiting their new SQD series of Tri Band Super Squick Deploy (SQD) SATCOM antenna terminals. These systems acquire a designated target satellite in 20 to 50 seconds (typically 35 seconds) from a stowed position. The SQD can be seen at the ACS booth #720. The SQD terminals have been specifically designed to meet the warfighter’s need for economical, rugged, Quick-on-the-Halt (QOTH) communications. They represent a break-through in technology which far betters the few minute acquisition time required by other products. The terminals support rapid satellite acquisition with and without GPS data and are intended to also operate in a CREW environment. Antenna sizes range from 60cm to 2.4m with an assortment of BUC power and modems to suite any application and uplink bandwidth to 75 Mbps*. Ka-, Ku- and X-bands are supported with quick replacement feeds and electronics. A variety of mounting configurations are also available including fix, tripod and vehicular.
The Tri-Band capable SQD systems are powered by an advanced AVL Technologies proprietary antenna system which produces excellent RF capabilities each and every time the systems are deployed.
