The SAILOR XTR GX-R2 ADU is a 103 cm or 65 cm VSAT stabilized tracking antenna,
consisting of a suspended antenna with a standard global RF configuration. It is
stabilized by heavy-duty vibration dampers in 3-axis and can be used in environments
with elevations of -20° to +120° for SAILOR 1000 XTR GX-R2 and -20° to +128° for SAILOR
600 XTR GX-R2. The SAILOR 1000 XTR GX-R2 antenna weighs 113 kg, and the SAILOR
600 XTR GX-R2 antenna weighs 44 kg. The antenna is powered by the BDU and
protected by a radome. All communication between the ADU and the BDU passes
through a single standard 50 Ohm cable (with N connector) through the rotary joint.
No cable work is required inside the radome. The antenna has 4 LAN connectors and a
DC power outlet in the ADU to connect third-party equipment.The SAILOR 1000 XTR
GX-R2 antenna comes with lifting brackets pre-mounted. The SAILOR 600 XTR GX-R2
comes with a sling pre-mounted.
