Whether the need is combat support, intelligence, executive travel, special missions or homeland security, the L3 Panther II VSAT terminal from L-3 GCS provides high-speed data communications for Internet, VPN connectivity and video transmission. This highly rugged portable VSAT terminal is light weight, highly portable and offers high data rates over commercial and military satellites. The L3 Panther II is designed to be carried in a ‘rucksack’, airline carry-aboard or checkable case*. The smallest, most rugged VSAT terminal of its type, the Panther II provides up to 3 Mbps (transmit) and up to 45 Mbps** (receive) data rates. The standard system is offered with an embedded iDirect Evolution iConnex e850mp modem with DVB-S2 receive capability and TDMA return channel. The modem incorporates Adaptive Code Modulation (ACM), which allows for high data throughput and flexibility in disadvantaged satellite coverage areas. The Panther™ integrates an elegant, The high gain of the antenna enables the terminal to be used in less than optimal locations within the satellite footprint. Ethernet data interfaces are provided for connection of various data, voice and video devices using an PART NUMBER DESCRIPTION GCS-3260eK-01* Panther II, iDirect e850, Ku-Band |
