Ku-Band Train Satcom Antenna System

AL-3602-TxRx

In today's dynamic world, having access to broadband networks anywhere and anytime has become essential. Whether at home, at work or traveling, OrTeS (Orbit & TeS)  VSAT Train Satcom solution keeps you in touch - always.

OrTeS offers the ultimate solution - a VSAT Ku-Band Mobile Stabilized Antenna System for high-speed trains. Characterized by a low profile Radome to suit high-speed trains, this highly efficient system allows passengers to maintain their daily routine while traveling, saving time and cost.

The OrTes VSAT Train System is highly immuned to EMI, including the one generated from the high power cables that run above many of these trains. With no need for external compass, tracking is achieved by a combination of solid-state rate gyro, a GPS receiver and an NBR (Narrow Band Receiver), enabling accurate and reliable satellite tracking.

The OrTes VSAT Train system includes a 3 axes stabilized pedestal incorporating a unique elevation motion of the reflector. Additionally, the OrTes VSAT Train System can be fully configured and monitored locally, using PC based software, It can also be managed remotely via Telnet and SNMP based management software. Network management applications provide centralized control of all network nodes, including interface configuration, connection setup, alarms and monitoring.

The OrTes VSAT Train System is an easy to operate plug & play system, which is completely independent of the train, requiring a 24 Volt DC power source only and it communicates with the management station by means of its SNMP agent (via TCP/IP connection).

OrTes VSAT Train - two models:

• AL-3601 - Ultra Low Profile
• AL-3602 - Low Profile
  

Key Features

• Ku-band
• High gain, low and ultra-low, profile antenna
• 3 Axes Stabilized System (Polarization, Elevation, Azimuth)
• Fully independent of the train (requires only a single DC source)
• Fully automatic acquisition and tracking modes - no operator intervention
• Tracking process that combines Step-Track with inertial stabilization (rate gyro or IMU)
• Fast reacquisition of satellites upon exiting from tunnels or stations
• Very high EMI immunity *
• High EIRP & G/T
• Broadband data rate - Typical downlink: 20 Mbps, uplink: 1 Mbps**
• Compliance with applicable ITU , ETSI and FCC regulations
• IP Interface with the Modem (Ethernet), including M&C of the Control System and the BUC, (such as temperature and Cease Tx)

• Compliance with EN 50155 Train Standard

  * Especially against high current cables or ferromagnetic influence.

  ** Typical for AB3, can vary with other satellites)
