Performance VSAT - No Certified Installer Required

The TripleA Motorized Satellite Mount is cost effective approach to multi-satellite communication at any location because it eliminates the requirement for a certified satellite technician for installation pointing, re-pointing, or transporting it anywhere. The fact that the TripleA is motorized means it may auto-acquire any Ku-band satellite at the touch of a button normally within 5 minutes.

Quickly Find Any Satellite From Any Provider
Each TripleA can point to any satellite with a pull-down menu of all available Ku-Band satellites in orbit. The dish uses DVB-S1 technology to acquire a satellite within 4 to 10 minutes if there is line-of-sight to that satellite. This is convenient for organizations that have backup satellites for network redundancy, or for connecting to multiple satellites without the need to purchase multiple fixed satellite dishes.

Inclined Orbit Tracking
The TripleA 1.2 Meter system also has the ability to track geosynchronous satellites that are in an unstable “Inclined” orbit. The integrated auto-aligning routines keep the signal stable at all times.

Transportable
Transportable TripleASince the system is motorized, transporting it to a new location requires no special gear or calibrations. Simply relocate the dish and select the satellite to connect with.


Upgrade Existing Satellite Systems
Upgrading an existing satellite system to a 1.2M TripleA is easy because there is no need to run new cables. The TripleA uses the existing cabling to communicate with the controller & dish. Simply confirm there is a 2 7/8 " to 3" (70 to 76 mm) OD (outside diameter) pipe for the mount to attach to, and swap the dish out with the TripleA.

Eliminate Repointing & Network Downtime
A technician does not need to be dispatched to align a misaligned dish. Simply press the "Search" button at and the system will auto-acquire the satellite in minutes. Network downtime from satellite dish misalignment is reduced from days to minutes.

Extreme Environmental Functionality
If you are in a harsh environment, the TripleA is rated for operation in environments that range from (minus) -40° to 132° F (-40° to 55° C). This dish may also be stowed horizontal, giving it survivability from winds of 125 MPH (200Kph) as from a severe storm.

Multi-Site Management Software
Optional software can provide organizations the ability to control multiple TripleA satellite systems from a central location anywhere.

Shipping from Ground Control
Shipping within the U.S. has no issues. If you are outside of the U.S., we prefer using a freight forwarding service that originates within the U.S. such as DHL.... Also, consider saving on equipment and shipping expenses by shipping just the mount and purchasing the common satellite dish through a local distributor. This will avoid shipping regulations of satellite systems in some countries. Please speak with a Ground Control representative for your specific need.

Do-It-Yourself Installations
1. Set a 2 7/8" to 3" (70 to 76 mm) OD (Outside Diameter) pipe into the ground.
... OR assemble a non-penetrating roof/ground mount (see below).
2. Run the cables from the system to inside the building.
3. Connect the cables to the 3 button TripleA controller and satellite modem.
Simple step-by-step instructions guide the process for installation success.

  close up picture of motorized azimuth and elevation mount on satellite non-pen.   Picture of motorized skew control of satellite transmitter radio.  
  The 47lbs mount (21.3 kg), includes the Elevation tilt control for 10° to 85° degree look angle from horizon. Azimuth rotation is 280° (dish mount must be roughly aligned with North)   The skew of the TripleA is able to rotate 103° to align with any vertical or horizontal transponder polarity. Manual overrides are available.  
  Three inch non-penetrating roof mount.   Concrete Anchor for fixed Satellite Dish Mounting.  
  Ground Control sells non-penetrating mounts that are easily assembled. Non pen mounts are often used on roof tops, but they are also common for ground level installation. Extra anchorage is required to withstand hurricane force winds.
  Concrete ground anchors are a common, but a simple post-hole digger and concrete will work as well. For hurricane strength winds, pipe must be deeply set to avoid it shifting.

  Precision Pointing at the touch of a button.   Note the control wire to the Skew rotational motor.
 
  Auto-Acquire Electronics are cased in optional rolling rackmount.   Picture of Triple-A controller and iDirect satellite modem.  
  The optional rollaway rackmount case makes moving from location to location a breeze. Use with a generator for connectivity anywhere. Call for pricing information.   The TripleA controller is seen here with an iDirect satellite modem that can provide 5MB down and 2MB up transfer speeds.
