The PALS PTA-240 is a rugged, transportable 2.4m satellite antenna system engineered to meet military-grade standards for reliability and performance. Designed for rapid deployment in critical missions, this foldable antenna integrates seamlessly with RF equipment on a single trailer, automatically collapsing into a compact, road-ready unit for effortless transportation and quick setup in the field.
Built with a precision dual-optic design, the PTA-240 features a 2.4m parabolic main reflector and sub-reflector, ensuring exceptional signal clarity and gain. Its quick-install feed-arm and modular feed-horn system support flexible operation across C, X, Ku, and Ka bands, making it adaptable to diverse global communication requirements.
For unmatched control and accuracy, the PTA-240 is fully compatible with the PALS PAC-550 military-grade antenna controller. Equipped with integrated GPS, advanced position detection, and a high-performance satellite beacon receiver, this system guarantees fast, reliable satellite acquisition and stable connectivity in the most challenging environments—ideal for defense, emergency response, and remote broadcasting.
