Why there are so many types of portable flyaway antennas?

Generally, the station types of satellite communication system includes fixed station, vehicle-mounted station, shipborne station, airborne station and portable flyaway station according to the installation methods.

With the development of satellite communication technology, portable flyaway antennas are popular used in satellite communication system because of their wide range of applications and convenient installation and operation. The portable satellite communication earth station is one of the main satellite communication station types, which is not affected by geographical environment and application space. It can be rapidly set up and put into operation.

Today, you can see many types of portable flyaway antennas in market. So there will be a lot of people may feel strange that they wanna to know why? The answer is to meet different demands. For the specific application of the portable flyaway antenna, we have summarized for you in the previous blog, please click this article for more information. Today, please go ahead and we will show you what kind of portable flyaway antennas that Antesky can offer with best price below.

-Drive type of portable flyaway  antenna

Manual portable flyaway antenna is more lighter, but personnel need to manually align satellite manually; Automatic portable flyaway antenna is much more convenient, which can align to satellite with one button, but due to increased motor,  it would be heavier than manual portable station. Below are Antesky 2.4m portable flyaway antenna as an example for your reference.

Because the strength of satellite signals in different regions is different, people usually choose a suitable portable flyaway station antenna according to the signal strength. Taking China as an example, the satellite signal strength in the central and eastern regions is high, and smaller-diameter antennas can be used; the satellite signal strength in the western and northeastern regions is low, and only large-diameter antennas can be used, otherwise communication cannot be achieved. Antesky portable flyaway antennas are usually with sizes of 0.75 m, 0.98 m, 1.2 m, 1.8 m, and 2.4 m. We have carbon fiber material and aluminium for option.  Also we list our antennas in below tables for your quick searching.

-Satellite performance and working frequency

Last, we will talk a special kind of ka band portable flyaway antenna, with smaller and lighter feed system, while the communication rate is very high, Compared with traditional satellite communication frequency bands such as S, C, Ku and X band etc, the Ka-band is with high throughput, and can match small size of terminal equipment, but with a heavy rain fade. Please refer below Antesky product list of Ka band portable flyaway antenna.
