IBC 2015 Tech: Hiltron Communications

Hiltron Communications | Stand 4.B89 | Website: www.hiltron.de

Hiltron Communications, a global satellite and wireless communication system integrator, manufacturer and distributor, will exhibit the latest version of its HMAM high-precision motorised satellite antenna mount at IBC 2015 (Sept. 11-15). Designed for two-way VSAT communication or receive-only downlink applications, the antenna mount can be used for a wide range of applications including broadcast and telecommunication downlinks.

The HMAM will be displayed in compact form for up to 2.4 meter diameter dishes. Making its first exhibition appearance will be a new motorized feed changer which allows the head to be moved quickly to a new position for switching between two different frequency bands.

The system comes complete with professional-grade drives for azimuth and elevation plus a high-accuracy polarisation drive. The combined head and drive form a three-axis motorised system with 180 degrees of azimuth adjustment, 90 degrees of elevation adjustment range and fully adjustable polarisation. The HMAM is fully compatible with Hiltron’s standard HACU antenna positioning system.

The Hiltron HMAM-IOT variant incorporates inclined-orbit tracking. To conserve guidance propellant, older satellites are allowed to drift further from their nominal target position than during their main service life. Operators therefore offer greatly reduced transponder capacity pricing. The HMAM-IOT’s advanced tracking capabilities enable the antenna to follow these variations in position. It is designed for cost-efficient uplinks on inclined-orbit satellites.

Hiltron will be represented by Managing Director Jan Molter and colleagues.
