TP100 Flyaway Terminal

The TP100 is a 1.0M state-of-the-art, ultra-fast, quick-deployable antenna system. 

It is ideal for store and forward, breaking news, occasional or permanent use with uplink speeds in excess of 10Mbps. Complete with a pricing structure that delivers better value than traditional services the TP100 can even support pre-booked and ad-hoc demands for service and bandwidth.

Flexibility – The unique design of the TP100 allows for a variety of different BUC power levels and the option of either Ka or Ku band.

Features:

  • 1m, 5 segment carbon fibre reflector
  • Ultra-portable, no-tools assembly
  • AIM ASSIST Manual Point Aid (simple to line up)
  • Integrated GPS and electronic compass
  • 6W to 55W RF power options
  • Optional dual band (Ka/Ku)
  • Two soft cases (under 23kg) for complete systems
  • Optional – IP65 rated modem
  • Optional – IP65 rated WiFi and GSM router
  • IATA compliant cases

Design and Flexibility:

The TP100’s unique design allows for a variety of different BUC power levels offering flexibility for either Ka or Ku-band operations.  Its 5-segment, 1.0m carbon fibre reflector ensures a robust and reliable connectivity.

Ease of Use:

The system boasts a tool-free setup process with bespoke assembly methods and captive spring-loaded location pins, allowing for operational readiness in under 5 minutes. This design eliminates the need for additional travel weight, such as tool bags, reducing overall transport costs.

Transportation: Holkirk provides rugged, custom-made transport cases that are light and mobile. Filled with closed cell hi density foam, these cases ensure the safety of the system during transit, whether for short or long-haul trips.

Performance:

The TP100 is ideal for secure communications, store and forward, breaking news, occasional or permanent use. Its compact RF design with direct-mounted RF and Polarisation adjustment minimizes performance losses, ensuring maximum power delivery to the satellite.

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 Holkirk TP100 Flyaway System is a powerful, efficient, and user-friendly solution for rapid deployment in various field operations. Its lightweight design, quick assembly, and high-speed capabilities make it an excellent choice for professionals in the broadcasting and communication sectors.

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.
