SATELLITE SYSTEMS
Airbus Defense and Space Government Solutions offers a wide range of military mobile and transportable satellite ground terminals in quad-band (C, X, Ku, Ka) configurations. They are designed for
rapid set-up and operation under harsh environmental conditions, and are available in multiple configurations, from trailer or vehicle-mounted to flyaway or man-pack solutions.
Airbus DS-GS has installed fixed ground terminals around the globe for a multitude of applications.
These “anchor stations” normally serve as the hub of wide area satcom networks and are used
as teleports for various services such as voice, video, data, fax or multimedia applications. Successful installations have been completed in all frequency bands (C, X, Ku, Ka) and antenna
diameters up to 16 meters.
We design all of our satellite systems to be highly reliable & rugged.
