Create a command post or stream live video from a sporting event in minutes. The Toughsat mobile satellite dish and trailer, manufactured by Ground Control, will acquire and connect at broadband speeds in less than 3.5 minutes anywhere, in any environment, no matter where you are on the planet.

Engineered for Durability
This aluminum and stainless steel construction trailer was designed from the ground up to be durable in any environment or long term storage. Its lightweight suspension is perfect for long travels and simplicity is one-button easy. The 1000 watt ultra-quiet Honda gas generator will run up to 9 hours on a tank of gas. Electronics are protected in a portable 6RU rackmount case, which is itself inside a shock resistant trailer cabinet. Of course, the Toughsat mobile satellite dish from Ground Control is also built rugged tough for extreme environments. *Some design features are subject to change.

Toughsat XP Brochure

The Toughsat T-100 trailer uses four stabilizing legs for uneven terrain or to secure the system from being accidentally jarred off signal. The legs are not required if the trailer is still attached to the towing vehicle.

The wireless system (802.11 "G") has been tested and is capable of connecting with a standard laptop over .5 miles away (over 2700 feet or .82 Kilometer).

A 6RU rackmount case is locked behind a stainless steel weather-proofed trailer cabinet door. The rackmount case can itself can be moved up to 50 feet from the trailer, and located inside of a structure or tent if desired.

The 1000W Honda ultra-quiet generator is more than capable of handling the 90 Watts the system pulls at maximum power requirements. It can run for more than 8 hours on a single tank of gas. It can also be upgraded to a 2000 Watt Honda ultra-quiet generator.

Toughsat Communications Trailer Deployed

The Toughsat mobile system can deploy and lock on satellite in about 3.5 minutes from a stowed position. Little or no training is needed to use this system because of Ground Control's one-button connectivity.

There are two high gain, range extending antennas that are both removable for added security when stored. The exposed connectors are protected by a metal twist cap.

One or more T-100 trailers can be shipped to any location. (Transport tarp has been removed for photo purposes).

An onboard battery powers cabinet lights and the trailer's emergency flashers when the generator is not running. Helpful for dark nights.

The weather resistant enclosed rear lockable storage bay includes a spare tire. Dimensions are 62"L x 46"W x 24"H.

Rails on the sides of the walls include with quick release strap/rings to make any load secure.

Two retractable belts mounted on two jacks are useful for day or night security when in operation.

The optional trailer dolly maneuvers the trailer with a single person. It may fit inside of the storage bay, but normally is used only at the storage location.

Four helicopter D-Rings on the T-100 allow helicopters to aerial lift it anywhere. The weight of the trailer fully loaded with all equipment is under 1400 lbs which is under most sling load capacities.

Shore power may power the trailer electronics through a bulkhead power port on the front of the trailer. A simple extension cord (110 VAC) may be used.

The trailer lights plug is a 7-pole, RV-style trailer connector. (male)

The locking trailer tongue may be removed and stored for added security.

The trailer can also be configured so the Toughsat dish can be boxed into our Flyaway Case for easy shipping of the Toughsat satellite system anywhere.

The Flyaway Case consists of a rolling 6RU rackmount case, the .98 meter dish, and the Toughsat in the case. Note the quick-release dolly for easy moving.

The Flyaway Case may also include Fly-And-Drive universal mounting brackets that mount the Toughsat to any roof rack (or prepared truck roof).

Since you are purchasing only one Toughsat, consider including a Flyaway Case with the T-100 trailer for the ultimate in communication flexibility.
