Summary
AvL 1878 1.8m Motorized Transportable Vehicle-Mount VSAT Satellite Antenna 2-Port C-Band INSAT AvL's Model 1878 Vehicle-Mount Mobile VSAT antenna features an offset 1.8m reflector and the patent-pending AvL Cable Drive positioner for reliability and ease of operation. The Model 1878 mobile broadband antenna system is a motorized, palletized antenna with a 2-Port C-Band INSAT. The Model 1878 provides connectivity in remote environments worldwide where larger aperture antennas are desired to combat rain-fade and weaker satellite signals. Created for use where performance really matters, AvL's Vehicle Mounted Mobile Broadband systems enable video, voice, IP and data communication anywhere in the world, with the push of a single button. The precision of AvL's patent-pending AvL Cable Drive positioners paired with the ease of one-button Auto-Acquisition and superior technical support make our vehicle mount antennas ideal for non-technical antenna operators.  AvL 1878 C-Band Vehicle-Mount Premium Antenna Systems feature:
• Offset 1.8m AvL Engineered Composite Reflector
• Zero Backlash AvL Cable Drive
• Standard Transmit Rotary Joint on Feed for C-Band
• Can be mounted onto large SUV or van
