SOTM: For Quick, Continuous Communications
For many applications, Satcom On-The-Move (SOTM) is the only choice to establish reliable, continuous, quickly deployable broadband connectivity. The SOTM antenna is a reliable, low-profile, two-way antenna system that enables real-time broadband satellite communications for video, voice and data transfer. Especially suited for trains and large vehicles, the antenna has been successfully deployed worldwide, providing high-performance broadband connectivity.
Integrated Terminal Option
The SOTM antenna can be offered as part of a complete, integrated SOTM terminal with a unified management system. The terminal includes seamless mechanical integration of a Gilat/Wavestream Block Up Converter (BUC) and a satellite modem. The integration with special-purpose SOTM modem allows for operation in low SNR conditions.
When integrated with 3rd-party modems, the antenna is supplied with an Antenna Control Unit (ACU).
