Raysat Introduces Low Profile Satellite Antenna for 'Comm on the Move’ Applications

 

WASHINGTON, D.C., Feb. 8, 2006/Satnews Daily/ — Continuing to advance satellite communications for moving vehicles, RaySat, Inc. has introduced the StealthRay, a low-profile (5.7") antenna designed for "Comm-on-the-Move" high-speed data services. 

 

Developed for system integrators, enterprise, government, military and emergency first responder teams, Rysat said the new KU-Band satellite antenna is fully customizable for virtually any bandwidth requirements, supports VoIP and video streaming, offers capability with satellites worldwide, and is ideal for two-way communications in geographically dispersed vehicles.

 

“Our StealthRay antenna technology combines high performance and reliability in a 'Comm-on-the-Move' system, while offering a low-profile footprint, cost effective design and transparent ease of use,” says RaySat vice president of Business Development Ilan Kaplan.

Claimed to be the world's first vehicle-based, low-profile satellite antenna to provide two-way data communications, the StealthRay turns any vehicle into a rolling "hot spot," enabling Internet access to laptops, PDAs, or other devices equipped with Wi-Fi wireless networking technology.

Raysat said the antenna is enclosed in a self-contained, weather-resistant housing, which mounts securely to a vehicle's roof or cargo rack.  According to Kaplan, the antenna employs proprietary technology that allows the StealthRay to automatically find the satellite and then continue tracking the signal by adjusting the azimuth, elevation and polarization angles, all while the vehicle is in motion.

The StealthRay offers valuable utility across a wide range of applications, including emergency communications, since it can provide federal, state and local first responders and public safety authorities with a high-speed satellite communications link independent of the current terrestrial infrastructure which is susceptible to local service interruptions, natural disasters and sabotage, Raysat said. Since it does not rely on terrestrial networks, it is a unique solution for agencies typically operating vehicles across remote geographical areas unserved by wireless carriers.
