Transformative solutions for LEO and MEO satellite tracking
Cobham SATCOM - TRACKER Antennas
TRACKER Antennas
Created using antenna technology and design philosophy perfected by Cobham SATCOM over the course of two decades, the highly innovative TRACKER antenna range optimizes satellite network operation and economics.
TRACKER 2400
Technology
TRACKER inertial balanced antenna system technology is a revolutionary platform which enables Satellite Network Operators to significantly reduce their land segment capital cost as well as operational overheads over the life of a satellite.
Fully integrated platform
All TRACKER antennas are delivered ready to go with radome, antenna controller, feeds and customer specific RF (BUC and LNB) as well as built-in auto-tracking.
Low-power consumption
Cutting-edge 3-Axis inertial balanced technology stabilizes the system for effortless tracking and very low power consumption compared to more traditional X/Y platforms.
Simplified installation
Unlike traditional ground stations which can take months to build, a satellite gateway based on TRACKER antennas can be installed and operational in days.
Robust and resilient
Capable of withstanding hurricane force winds, Cobham SATCOM’s advanced technology radomes ensure robustness of the overall system design and high link availability regardless of weather and atmospheric conditions.
Reduced lifecycle costs
Amplifying significantly lower energy and installation costs, TRACKER antennas feature streamlined operations & maintenance, which contribute to optimising the overall system economics of a satellite network.
