Overview
The PFA-180 is a lightweight motorized Fly-Away Antenna solution ideally suited for the worldwide satellite market. It can be easily transported by commercial airlines inside of IATA weight-compliant flight cases to wherever you need it.
The PFA-180 system features a smart modular design that requires no tools for installation or no special operator training. This 1.8 m offset parabolic antenna system, comprising six segments, including the reflector, quick-install feed-arm, feed-horn system, and three-axis pedestal, can be fully assembled and made transmission-ready by just two personnel in less than 10 minutes. All components are securely packed in two rugged, IATA-compliant transport cases, making the system very portable while protecting the sensitive equipment. The PFA-180's innovative segmented design and tool-free assembly process enable rapid deployment in even the most remote locations, providing immediate satellite communication capability with full three-axis tracking functionality.
The precision-engineered reflector surface delivers exceptionally low sidelobes and superior cross-polarization performance across all operational bands. The system offers interchangeable feed-horn configurations supporting C, X, Ku, and Ka frequency bands.
