Dual System Topologies
Dual system topologies are used in scenarios where installation space and line-of-sight to
the sky/satellite is limited. In this type of scenario, the installation of two smaller antenna
systems instead of one larger antenna system is recommended.
In a dual-system topology, two smaller antenna systems (installed above deck), are
connected to the management equipment (located below deck), for single-source
management.
This type of installation utilizes a Dual-System-Selector (DSS) to provide single-source
management of both antenna assemblies via a single CCU.
NOTE:
The illustration below provides an overview of the connections. It does not include the power
cables and other specific connections.
