Today Globecomm Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: GCOM), a global provider of communications solutions and services, announced the launch of its next generation Auto-Explorer™ 1.2 Meter Multi-Band terminal. The versatile, auto-aligning VSAT antenna uses band-specific feed cartridges with integrated RF electronics to enable quick and simple frequency conversion in the field from X- to Ka- to Ku- satellite bands, and supports several OEM L-band modem products from CEFD, iDirect, HNS and Viasat. Available in single, dual or tri-band configurations, it supports voice, fax, data, video, Internet and LAN-to-LAN connections, and is among the first auto acquisition terminals in this class to be ARSTRAT-certified for Ka-band WGS operation.
Michael Plourde, Vice President Government Programs for Globecomm, said: "The new 1.2 Meter Multi-Band terminal offers mission-adaptable communications. Like all of our Auto-Explorer™ terminals, it provides fast and reliable simple satellite acquisition and a graphical user interface that simplifies operations. The ability to swap out feed cartridges in the field allows a single Multi-Band terminal to replace three existing single band terminals. This approach provides considerable cost savings to the warfighter and represents a significant addition to Globecomm's product line of portable terminals."
The 1.2 Meter Multi Band Terminal will be on display at Globecomm Booth (#567) during the Satellite 2011 show in Washington DC, March 15-17, 2011.
