High-Gain SOTM Antenna

For many applications, Satcom On-The-Move (SOTM) is the only choice to establish reliable, continuous and quickly deployable broadband connectivity.

The RaySat ER7000 antenna is a reliable, low-profile, two-way antenna system that enables real-time broadband satellite communications for video, voice and data. Ideally suited for trains and large vehicles, the ER7000 has been successfully deployed worldwide in rail travel and Digital Satellite News Gathering (DSNG) applications, among others.

High Transmission Gain, Low-Profile

The ER7000 antenna maximizes throughput using high-efficiency waveguide panel technology and its light weight ensures easy and safe vehicle mounting. The antenna features multiple onboard tracking sensors, enabling accurate tracking, shortest initial acquisition and instantaneous reacquisition time after signal loss.

Modem Options

For maximum flexibility, the ER7000 can be deployed in 3 ways:

 – Integrated modem, including seamless mechanical integration of Gilat’s GLT1000 modem. This allows for operation in low SNR conditions.
– Gilat modem, as part of Gilat’s SkyEdge II-c mobility modem, taking advantage of its management and mobility support.
– 3rd party modem, if it is OpenAMIP v1.17 certified. When integrated with 3rd party modems, the antenna is supplied with an Antenna Control Unit (ACU).

Environmental Robustness

The ER7000 is designed to withstand the harsh environmental conditions and extreme changes common to mobility applications. Using market-leading RF/IF components, this robust antenna operates in temperatures ranging from -40ºF to +131ºF (-40ºC to +55ºC) and with relative humidity of up to 95%. Deployed on trains, buses, vans and cars, the ER7000 ensures a high performance and stable link in varying environmental conditions, as required for bandwidth hungry SOTM applications.
