The industry renowned Cheetah is a completely auto-acquiring flyaway VSAT system that provides high-speed
data communications for Internet, VPN connectivity, video transmission, surveillance, or reconnaissance. The
Cheetah is comprised of only two airline checkable* cases!
The Cheetah system comes standard in two wheeled hard cases. Each case weighs less than 75 lb. and includes
a fully auto-acquire 90cm elliptical antenna system, outdoor unit with embedded iDirect modem, 40 W BUC/SSPA,
controller/processor and Ethernet switch. The GCS ViewSAT™ terminal control software provides monitor and
control of the terminal through the use of an Intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI).
FEATURES
• Embedded iDirect iConnex e800 Evolution modem and 40 W BUC/SSPA
• Rugged design for outdoor use in harsh environmental conditions
• One button auto-acquisition solution based on proven motorized Roto-Lok cable drive for reliable positioning and algorithms with the latest iDirect SNR tuning or SWR
• Includes automatic polarization adjustment that rotates the reflector to align the major axis with the orbital arc for optimum field performance
• Internal power conditioning in accordance with MIL-STD-1275B allowing the Cheetah to be powered from military vehicles
• Field connectivity over CAT-5 cable eliminates heavy IFL cables
• ViewSAT Terminal Monitor and Control software simplifies deployment and operation
• Modem bypass capability allows inter-operation with standard L-Band modems
