The versatile power-payload of the PIONEER Class antennas has been designed to house SSPAs with power levels up to 100W Ku-Band or Extended Ku-Band in single thread or 1:1 redundant configurations.

The system is simple to install, set up and use. Following relocation of the antenna, the system will reliably and accurately locate and lock on to the designated traffic satellite rapidly within minutes. The IPOINT™ Auto Acquisition Controller uses industry standard position transducers and a sophisticated pattern recognition algorithm to confirm and refine its heading information using visible satellites. The controller is mounted on the antenna structure with a separate control panel with integral power supply in a rack mount unit for mounting within the equipment area.
