The INTREPID120 Antenna System
The ‘INTREPID’ class of antenna systems are renowned for their compact size,
light weight and powerful performance having been designed to excel in today’s
ever demanding satellite communications industry.
The user friendly modular design allows for simple, fast and accurate satellite
acquisition either as a manually controlled mount or as a fully auto-acquisition
motorised mount.
The clever design of the tri-pod mount also means that other 3rd party
antennas can be fitted allowing existing equipment to be cost effectively
upgraded.
The main reflector is manufactured from high quality carbon fibre and is
supplied in six easily assembled petals that employ a revolutionary spherical
dowel locking mechanism.
The revolutionary design of the complete fly-away system allows for the
INTREPID class antenna to be transported in easily manageable carry cases
weighing less than 32kg that can be checked onto any commercial aircraft
making the INTREPID class antenna a totally flexible fly-away system.
