PALS PFMA series antennas are self-pointing / auto-acquire fixed motorised systems. They deliver exceptional performance for transmit/receive and receive-only applications in different bands. Design of the offset reflector incorporates precision-formed panels, contoured radials and a machined hub assembly. PFMA Series features 240° degrees of azimuth coverage and 60° degrees of elevation point range. This large range of adjustment provides the ability to view geostationary satellites, horizon to horizon, from any location on the Earth. High gain and closely controlled pattern characteristics.
The PALS new generation Antenna Controller offers the latest technology, with its state-of-the-art design and brings a new method to antenna control. Simplified user interface and very easy connectivity provide very healthy control over the antenna and therefore flawless operation for SNG broadcasting.
