Introduction

The SAILOR VSAT Antenna Diversity Solution (ADS) from Cobham SATCOM has the
following unique features:

• Simple installation due to single cable antenna system.

• Cost effective solution using cables and COTS RF splitters, no need for additional 19"

rack-mount units.

• Ensures maximum system uptime.

• Fully automatic switching to the other VSAT antenna, no user intervention needed.

• Switching upon programmed blocking zones.

• Switching if tracking signal strength drops 4 dB below the signal strength in the idle

antenna.

• Switching if the ADU is malfunctioning.

• Configured in minutes, using the built-in web server user interface.
