Whether the need is remote Internet/VPN, live videoconferencing, surveillance or reconnaissance, the L3 Hawkeye III Lite 1.2M Auto-Acquire, Tri-Band Flyaway VSAT system provides high data rate communications of 2-5Mbps as determined by the link parameters. This light-weight solution can be deployed in a matter of minutes utilizing the auto-acquire antenna system, ViewSat GUI, and the GCS Enhanced Outdoor Unit (ODU). The ODU includes the latest version of the iDirect Evolution iConnex™ e800 modem, LAN switch and a control processor. The complete system consists of two hard sided cases which house the ODU, auto-acquire antenna pedestal, controller, 6-segment carbon fiber circular reflector, boom and feed, and LNB devices for global coverage. The latest generation L3 Hawkeye VSAT, the Hawkeye III, now gives the user the ability to switch between bands and apertures without having to purchase an additional system. The Hawkeye III terminals range in antenna size from 1.2M to 2.4M and utilize an enhanced ODU to eliminate reconfiguration and allow commonality of control. A simple swap of the feed boom assembly is all that is required to switch between bands. The Hawkeye™ series VSATs are proven reliable, lightweight and now even easier to use! Enhanced ODU
MIL-STD-810G tested Rugged design for outdoor usage Embedded iDirect EvolutioniConnex e800 modem with DVB-S2/ACM Embedded Ethernet switch 4 LAN ports DSL port option GCS ViewSAT GUI ViewSAT is specifically designed to monitor and control the Hawkeye and Cheetah series of VSAT terminals. The monitor and control is provided for the embedded iDirect modem, Antenna controller and some select BUC/SSPAs. Utilize one common GUI for all L3 across all platforms for easy operability. |
