Toughsat SP Photos
 
  Toughsat on an RV Roof   Toughsat SP Flyaway Configuration  
  The Toughsat SP is installed on top of a RV roof.  
Here a Toughsat SP is integrated with a Flyaway Case configuration. Flyaway cases require no certified installation since the system is not being mounted on a vehicle or trailer roof.
 
  Toughsat Controller Front and Back   Toughsat Controller and iDirect Router  
 
The Toughsat TS2 Controller has easy one-button "Deploy" and "Stow" buttons for simple operation. Also, the full function integrated wireless G router with a 4 port Ethernet hub on the back of the controller.
 
The Toughsat TS2 Controller operates silent with no fan. The iDirect Evolution X5 satellite router is also silent, and is standard equipment. (Rackmount 1.5 RU bracketing for the iDirect satellite modem is not shown)
 
  Toughsat Views   Roof Template  
 
The Toughsat SP shares the same dimensions of the XP (shown above). Stow heights of the SP are below 12" (30.5cm).
 
Here are detailed dimensions for permanent placement of a Toughsat for any truck, trailer or RV roof. The rotational sweep of the dish is high enough to clear Air Conditioners and other items.
