DESIGN OVERVIEW:
The Ku-Band BUCs are the next generation of the world’s most compact and efficient outdoor BUCs in the industry handlingthe output power up to 80W. We’ve picked the most mature, reliable and proven to be highly efficient amplifiers with internal
overdrive protection. Its weatherproof and robust Hyper-Light package is constructed with the most advanced materials
and mechanical precision engineering in mind, taking the MTBF to the next level of at least 15 years during normal operation.
Each unit is vigorously tested at our California facility according to our Acceptance Testing Procedure.
