Welfare Applications (IP Over Internet)

Our portfolio includes our very successful Scorpion Lite, TP100, TP120 and the Vsat Station which have a simple construction that will allow the systems to be built by anyone, no satellite experience required.

Vsat applications

The Holkirk motorised earth station (Vsat Station) is a simple, robust and accurate solution for antenna positioning and inclined orbit tracking in C, X Ku and Ka-Band up to 3.8M reflector size.
The Vsat motorised earth station can be realized in multiple scenarios:-
Complete turnkey project with RF, DE-ICE, RF over fibre
Earth station only – incorporating reflector and AIM STATION dish positioner

AIM-STATION dish positioner as a stand-alone system for you to integrate with the antenna and RF

Mobile Applications – TP100

The TP100 is a state-of-the-art, ultra-fast, quick-deployable antenna system designed by Holkirk Communications. It stands out for its exceptional uplink speeds, exceeding 10Mbps, and its versatility for various broadcasting and communication needs.

The unique design of the TP100 will not only allow for operation on traditional Ku-Band satellites but also allow access to multiple Ka-Band payloads, increasing the number of options to get your broadcast on the air (this will be achieved with a separate feed arm in a separate flight case).
The TP100 can be offered with a ruggedised IP modem and ruggedised WiFi router. The IP modem will be attached to the rear of the antenna thus reducing the length of L-Band cables.

There is space and weight budget to include the IP modem within the 2 off IATA compliant cases.

The ruggidised WiFi router has the ability to create a WiFi hot-spot or use the WiFi as a separate WAN interface, it also has two GSM modem radio’s to give 3G/4G WAN capability. There is space and weight budget to include the IP modem within the 2 off IATA compliant cases.

Once the antenna has been assembled (typically under 5 minutes) the satellite can be found by using our AIM ASSIST hand-held device which will assist in the pointing to any satellite.

The AIM ASSIST pointing device has an integrated GPS, electronic compass and inclinometer that will give the user a target azimuth/elevation and polarisation position and actual read-out for the true position of all the axis. The AIM ASSIST has a built-in signal strength meter to allow accurate peaking to the satellite.

TP120

The Holkirk TP120 is a state-of-the-art flyaway antenna system designed for rapid deployment in challenging environments. Manufactured from a combination of carbon fibre, aluminium alloy, and high-performance engineering polymers, this system is built to withstand the harshest conditions while maintaining exceptional performance.

The TP120’s design incorporates six-segment carbon fibre antenna technology, ensuring a lightweight yet robust structure. The system’s folding feed arm simplifies assembly and reduces the need for long unsupported cables. For operations on soft terrain, optional sand feet provide additional stability. In case of an auto-pointing system failure, manual overrides ensure that transmission capabilities are retained.

Portability

Holkirk has meticulously allocated parts to each case to ensure that no single case exceeds 23kg, making the system IATA compliant and reducing the risk of injury during transportation. The rugged cases provided are waterproof, impact-resistant, and designed for the safe transport of the system, whether for short or long-haul trips.
