Typical applications:• Small Ka/HTS gateway terminals• LEO gateways• Oil & Gas• Deployable VSAT terminals

The 1U Hawk Matrix has capacity for two 8x8 field replaceable matrix cards – which can be combining (fan-in) or distributive (fan-out) – foruplink and downlink applications. The Hawk can be fitted with any combination of cards depending on application, but is ideally suited forsmaller gateways with multiple modems and one or two antennas.
Single 8x16 & 16x8 configurations are also available - please enquire.
