UltraStead-E : High Performance automatic 2-D beam stabilization antennas

Overview

UltraStead-E is INTRACOM TELECOM's Automatic E-Band/Dual Band antenna beam stabilization solution, which has been designed to provide dynamic link alignment stabilization and optimization in two-dimensions (2-D), i.e. in both the Elevation and Azimuth planes. The UltraStead-E beam stabilization system has been designed to provide link alignment stabilization for both E-Band and Dual Band antennas of nominal diameters of 60cm and 90cm. It is compatible with the UltraLink-GX80 Advanced and the UltraLink-GX80 Dual radios.

Thumb 1

Benefits

  • Maintains E-Band or Dual Band link capacity and link availability when the antenna installation structure suffers from temperature-related deformations causing link misalignment.
  • Enables deployment of 90cm nominal diameter antennas, enhancing the link gain compared to 60 cm diameter antennas, allowing the extension of the link range by 20%.
  • The Dual Band capability the UltraStead-E system can enhance the range extension benefit derived from the use of 90 cm diameter antennas, by multiplying it with the range extension benefit of the Dual Band configuration.
  • Assists in optimizing the initial alignment, especially of 90cm antennas, so that the link is aligned faster for optimum antenna-related link gain, which is maintained throughout the lifetime of the system.
  • It is fully manageable remotely, implementing strict access and communication security measures and providing status monitoring, configuration control, SW upgradability.
