Advanced Motorized Antenna Technology
The PDA-120 is a fully motorized Gregorian offset antenna system with a precision 1.2m carbon-fiber reflector. Its integrated POD (Shell) protection shields the antenna and BUC from weather while improving vehicle aerodynamics, making it ideal for high-speed mobile operations.
Exceptional Signal Performance
The precision-engineered carbon-fiber reflector combines with advanced Dual Optic design to deliver outstanding electrical performance. This sophisticated architecture, paired with a specialized feed-horn system, ensures remarkably low sidelobes and excellent cross-polar rejection for crystal-clear transmission in challenging environments.
Lightweight Design for Rapid Deployment
Engineered for durability and compact footprint, the PDA-120 mounts seamlessly on virtually any vehicle. It is the ideal choice for broadcast newsgathering (SNG) and diverse VSAT applications including disaster relief, emergency communications, corporate networks, and military operations where swift deployment is critical.
