The Mobile iNetVu 1800 VSAT system is a multi-platform & multi-band satellite system that is capable of locking on most any satellite. At 341 lbs, (155kg) this large frame dish will operate in wind speed of 45 mph (72 km/h).
C-Band normally requires at least a 1.8 meter dish, which the 1800 was designed for. However, with the larger dish size comes faster speed potentials traditional KU-Band and X-Band services.
3 Controllers To Choose From
All controllers allow for easy configuration and control of the 1800 system. The primary difference is speed of acquisition, the platform being connected to (iDirect, Viasat, Hughesnet) and whether or not a PC is required to control the unit..
is cost effective stand alone unit (does not need to communicate with a satellite modem). It does require computer control for deploying and stowing the dish. A communications link with the satellite modem for updating GPS, & Cross Pol compatible with iDirect, HughesNet, ViaSat, Comtech, Gilat/Starband, Nera, ipStar, Newtec, Advanctex/EMS and Radyne. more
is also a stand alone device that helps satellite acquire times to average about 2 minutes. This system requires a PC for unit configuration and control. Compatible communications links are available with iDirect, HughesNet and Viasat platforms. more
is also optimized to find a satellite within 2 minutes, and it eliminates the need for a PC for operation. Front panel buttons allow for one button operation. This system is also compatible for communicating a host of satellite platforms. more
tracks the power density of a satellite beacon (930MHz - 2300MHz) in real time. This unit is an optional addition to any of the controllers. more

Incline Orbit Tracking
The 1800 has the ability to track incline orbiting satellites in one of 4 ways
Search Method using DVB
In this search method a correctly polarized DVB signal is chosen and used as the signal that verifies the correct satellite. This DVB can be any DVB signal on the same satellite. A good choice is a TV station that broadcasts 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
Search Method using RF
In this search method a modem that is directly supported by the iNetVu™ controller is used for verification of the correct satellite. This method operates by looking for a signal sent from a satellite and then asking the modem to verify if that exact frequency is found. This frequency is the operation frequency for that particular modem and client.
Search Method using Reference Satellite
In this search method there is no DVB signal available on the target satellite. In this case a DVB signal is used from an adjoining satellite to locate and verify the position. Once it has been confirmed that this satellite is the correct reference satellite, the platform automatically moves a controlled number of degrees in azimuth, elevation and polarization to the target satellite. The target satellite is then verified by the modem and the Controller can then peak on that signal.
Search Method using Beacon
In this search method an iNetVu™ BR300L Beacon Receiver is employed to verify that the satellite located is in fact the target satellite. This feature can be used in situations where there is no DVB, no direct modem interface and no reliable reference satellite.
