2022: Announcement of the Civil Automatic Mobile Antenna Positioning System
On September 21, 2022, TrilineSystems announced the release of a civilian automatic positioning system for mobile satellite antennas.
According to the company, the domestic development for mobile satellite communication systems - SOTM (Satcom-on-the-Move, satellite communication in motion) - allows you to point the antenna at the satellite in five minutes and get the optimal signal level.
Such systems are needed by representatives of various professions working in regions of the country that are not covered by communications, from television workers to geologists, oil workers, drillers. The usual use of SOTM usually requires certain skills from the operator, since, unlike "large" antennas, for their successful work requires manual guidance on the satellite. For non-specialists, this often turns into a serious problem. The Russian controller solves it, allowing you to quickly and accurately point the mobile "plate" at the satellite.
 | There are various systems for such assistance, but they are mainly intended for military use with understandable restrictions, including at a price (very expensive). The devices available for peaceful use are quite complex and capricious, moreover, they are sensitive to external factors - weather conditions and more. Initially, we made a field solution for one of the large customers - an oil transport company that needed a satellite communication system in hard-to-reach places where the pipeline passes. We created a small antenna guidance automation controller in just three months, and it performed well in practice in harsh conditions. Therefore, we decided to scale this project for the entire Russian market. told Pavel Zubenko, general designer of TrilineSystems |  |
The KAN-M-1 positioning automation controller developed by TrilineSystems helps to deploy and configure satellite antennas FlyAway, VSAT and others, giving the operator the opportunity to quickly and efficiently perform manual guidance. Ease of use is determined by the presence of only one sensor, which is rigidly attached to any part of the antenna. After simple horizontal calibration, the controller is ready for operation.
A small (notebook-sized) device in a metal shock-resistant case is capable of working in any climatic conditions (from -40 to + 45 ° C), is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and is applicable on antennas ranging in size from 0.5 to 2.4 m. Simple commands are displayed for the operator, such as "left," "right," "above" and "below." Following them, you can orient the antenna in just five minutes with a positioning error of no more than 0.5 ° both in elevation and azimuth (subject to magnetic declination). Without such a controller, the process can take up to 40 minutes, and with the work of an experienced specialist.
