The TOUGHSAT operates in extreme environments from most any parked location on the planet and can stay operational in wind speeds up to 75 mph (120 kph)
 
This bus uses two Toughsat systems for redundant connectivity to two different satellites, and for added speed using a dual WAN.

 
  Toughsat On Trailers   Toughsat on top of Truck  
  These Toughsats are mounted on 5th wheel trailers to create mobile classrooms.   The Toughsat Controller has an integrated wireless access point for any in-range wireless enabled laptop to connect at high speed.  
     
 
The Toughsat stows to a height of 12" (30.5cm). Here is is mounted on our Communications Trailer that can create a 0.5 mile (0.8 km) radius access point with a touch of a button. The trailer has an integrated Honda 1000 or 2000 watt generator.
 
Weather proof, easy twist submarine rated connectors, internal weather proof electronics housing, stainless steel & aluminum construction, are just a few of the environmental upgrades for Toughsat to travel and operate anywhere.
 
     
  The Toughsat controller screens are accessible with any browser. In addition to detailed system information are system parameters, manual controls, override screens, software updating, history screens, and of course Find, Stow and Stop buttons.   The 4 Watt Ku-Band radio is helpful for avoiding rain fade issues. A 6 Watt radio allows for the faster 5Mb x 2Mb or high-speed satellite services. The skew motors are able to precisely calibrate polarization (horizontal or vertical) on any line-of-site satellite.  
     
  An optional remote panel connected to the controller via a phone wire, may be mounted in any location in the rig. Most often on the dashboard. LED's show the status of the system and buttons allows for Power, Find Satellite, Stow Dish and Stop.
  The indoor Toughsat Controller has an integrated wireless G router with a 4 port Ethernet hub and it operates silent with no fan. The iDirect 3100 iNfiniti satellite modem is also silent, and is standard equipment. (Rackmount 1.5 RU bracketing is not shown)
