The INTREPID120™ antenna system from Advantech is renowned for its compact size, light weight and powerful performance which has been designed to excel in today's increasingly demanding DSNG market place.
The user friendly modular design of the INTREPID120™ antenna allows for simple, fast and accurate location and acquisition of the satellite, either as a manually controlled mount or as a fully auto-pointing and motorised system, there are no tools required to assemble the INTREPID120™.
The novel light weight and sturdy tri-pod design includes a truly versatile amplifier cradle which can accommodate up to 125KW Ku-Band SSPB, neatly doing away with the long lengths of fragile flexible wave-guide normally associated with flyaway systems.
The main reflector is manufactured from high quality carbon fibre and is supplied in six easily assembled petals that employ a spherical dowel locking mechanism to ensure perfect alignment. For cost effective VSAT operation there is the optional 1.2M two piece reflector or the single piece 90cm reflector.
