Product Information

Vsat STATION 

Auto-Pointing and multi-satellite dish positioning  for fixed Vsat earth stations

Accurate solution for Vsat positioning and inclined orbit tracking in C, X Ku and Ka-Band up to 3.8M reflector sizes

Applications:

  • Satellite ranging terminal
  • Inclined orbit tracking
  • Multi-satellite dish positioning

The Vsat STATION is our product for a completely integrated solution that can be configured to suit any application.

It’s a modular solution for operators / integrators who require satellite systems that need automated search functions in both TVRO and Tx/RX applications with the ability to track satellites for larger aperture antennas or inclined orbit satellites.

We can supply the Vsat STATION in various levels of sub-system modules to allow you to either build you own solution or take advantage of our bespoke design and consultancy services:

 

  • Complete turnkey project with RF assemblies (BUC/LNB/1:1 redundancy), DE-ICE protection, RF over fibre interconnectivity
  • Earth station only – incorporating reflector from 1.2M to 3.8M reflector sizes and  our AIM STATION dish positioner
  • AIM-STATION dish positioner as a stand-alone unit for you to integrate with the antenna and RF

For a cost effective solution to quick deployable tracking of inclined orbit satelited we have produce a 1.2M tracking system called SENTINEL

Key Features:

  • 1.2M, 1.8M, 2.4M and 3.8M antenna options
  • Self-commissioning and auto-acquire procedure
  • C, X, Ku and Ka-Band frequency range (or multi-band)
  • Non-GEO Inclined orbit tracking
  • Integrated Beacon Receiver
  • STEP and MEMORY track
  • De-Icing systems
  • Lightning protection
  • NPNM, King-post, wall mounted options, Flyaway
  • Integrated RF and electronics (BUC/LNB/modem)
  • Ethernet controlled graphical interface

Self-Commissioning: Simplifies the initial setup process, allowing operators to quickly commission the system with minimal technical expertise.

30 Satellite Database: Comes pre-loaded with a comprehensive database of 30 satellites, ensuring wide coverage and flexibility for global operations.

User-Friendly Interface: guides users through the pointing process with clear instructions and visual aids.

Graphic Feedback: Provides visual cues during the acquisition process, indicating the current stage and offering troubleshooting advice if issues arise.

Engineer Customisation: Allows for the adjustment of acquisition data, making it adaptable to a variety of field conditions and user requirements.

Versatile Application: Compatible with a wide range of Holkirk antennas, ensuring seamless integration with existing systems.

The Vsat STATION has a wide powered movement of 0° to 90° elevation and greater than 180° azimuth range, optional solar shield assembly and 110/240VAC input so it will provide reliable worldwide operation.

An array of sensors integrated into the ACU will allow the system to determine its geo-location as well as it’s perpendicular elevation angle relative to the surface of the earth (not terrain dependant) so installation is very simple with the self-commissioning and auto-acquire process.

Power outage feature – The array of sensors that are incorporated into the ACU will allow the system to be powered off for any amount of time and still be able to SEARCH, LOCATE and TRACK an inclined orbit satellite without the intervention of experience staff.

For system integrators seeking a fully motorised Vsat or mobile solution that combines ease of use with sophisticated control, the Holkirk AIM STATION antenna controller can be supplied as an OEM product and is the perfect choice for your next positioning or inclined tracking project.
