04SATELLITE SYSTEMS

Airbus Defense and Space Government Solutions offers a wide range of military mobile and trans-portable satellite ground terminals in quad-band (C, X, Ku, Ka) configurations. They are designed for rapid set-up and operation under harsh environmental conditions, and are available in multiple con-figurations, from trailer or vehicle-mounted to flyaway or man-pack solutions.

Airbus DS-GS has installed fixed ground terminals around the globe for a multitude of applications. These “anchor stations” normally serve as the hub of wide area satcom networks and are used as teleports for various services such as voice, video, data, fax or multimedia applications. Suc-cessful installations have been completed in all frequency bands (C, X, Ku, Ka) and antenna diameters up to 16 meters.

SATELLITE SYSTEMS

We design all of our satellite systems to be highly reliable & rugged.

POWERFUL & RELIABLE COMMUNICATIONSRanger terminals are the industry leader in EIRP signal strength and are world renowned for their exceptional reliability. Maximize your mission’s success rate by keep-ing your team connected with a Ranger system. DURABLE & LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGNRanger terminals incorporate light and durable components to ensure a high level of mobility and product longevity. The reflector is made from a carbon fiber composite and features integrated machined fasteners to ensure protection from even the most extreme environments. QUICK & EASY OPERATIONRanger terminals are quick and easy to operate so your team can stay focused on their mission, not on their com-munications equipment. In fact, for most configurations a single operator can setup and establish network access in less than ten minutes.

CUSTOMIZABLE FOR ANY MISSIONThe modularity of the Ranger system allows for a high level of customization to fit your missions requirements. The customizable packaging can be setup for minimum weight deployments, minimum amount of cases or any-where in-between.
