SkyTrac’s Portable DSAT Is Small But Compliant


SkyTrac SkyTrac is always moving forward (and upward) with new products. SkyTrac's latest is the new portable DSAT-200 which is gaining acceptance with rotary and fixed wing operators to remain in compliance with government Automatic Flight Following (AFF) and/or do not require voice and/or full text capabilities. Leveraging technology from SkyTrac’s field-proven ISAT transceiver, the DSAT is a portable unit that is lighter, smaller and less expensive. The DSAT contains a data-only Iridium transceiver, a built-in Global Positioning System (GPS), and a long-life battery that allows it to operate without aircraft power. The DSAT-200 is available with either a single installed dual antenna, or two portable antennas, and also comes with an aircraft adapter that allows the unit to be connected to main aircraft power if required.
