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 different satellite if necessary) and for added 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.
 
Weather proof, easy twist connectors are just a few of the environmental upgrades that allow the Toughsat to travel anywhere.
 
     
  The Toughsat Controller screens are accessible with any connected browser. In addition to detailed system information are system parameters, manual control and override screens.   The 4 Watt radio is helpful for avoiding rain fade issues.  
     
  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. Acquire time is 3.5 minutes. Stow time is 1 minute.
  The Indoor Toughsat Controller has a built-in wireless G router with a 4 port hub and operates silent. The iDirect series 3000 satellite modem is standard equipment with most of our packages. (Rackmount bracketing not shown)
