FlyNews TF 100 Ku Fly-Drive Antenna System
The FlyNews™ TF-100 is a fully motorized, offset 3-axis autopointing antenna system with a 4 segment, 100cm diamond shaped reflector. With an antenna controller, the system offers instant high performance, plug and play broadcasting. Anywhere you are, anywhere you go.
FlyNews TF 100 Ku Fly-Drive Antenna System The FlyNews™ TF-100 is an ultra lightweight, compact and high performance antenna made in all carbon- fiber technology. The TF-100 antenna system is a prime focus offset antenna system including a 4 segment 1m diamond shape parabolic main reflector, a quick-install feed-arm, feed-horn system and 3-axis motorizeable pedestal system. The antenna system and motorization comes with two IATA compliant ruggedized transport boxes. The precision, accurate reflector surface provides remarkable low side lobes and excellent cross polar performance for the antenna. The feed-horn system is available for Ku-Band, DBS Band and Ka-band. The lightweight, compact and high performance features of TF-100 antenna makes it the ideal choice for fast Newsgathering (SNG) for broadcasters and VSAT applications; these can be Disaster Relief Emergency Communications, Corporate Networks, Military satellite communications and many others. It can either be used as Flyaway or easily be mounted on a vehicle as drive-away antenna system with optionally provided vehicle mounting kit.
The systems comes with the universal TAC450 antenna control unit (ACU) as standard, which can fully control the system locally via handheld or remotely through tablet PC and which supports any satellite and works with any modem technology (FDMA, TDMA, MF-TDMA, NCW). The auto pointing features with the “One Touch” operation capability makes it easy the daily operation in any condition and environment. The antenna system is controlled by a smart antenna controller with a very quick autopointing capability, which can track satellite orbits, even with high inclination angles. Its acquisition speed and “one touch” operation via the handheld controller makes it very easy to operate and ideal for instant, reliable broadcasting under any condition and in any environment.
Key Features - Fully compliant with satellite operator specifications - Carbon fibre (main reflector, sub reflector and feed arm) - Extended Ku-Band operation
- 3-axis motorized autopointing system - Automatic and manual drive gear - Lightweight, portable design - Fast antenna deployment, easy to operate - IATA weight compliant
