Fixed VSAT
Elite provides Fixed VSAT services for both temporary and permanent installations on land. For these installations, only a small footprint is needed for us to install our antenna, clear of any obstructions in the immediate vicinity south of the dish. We will also need to be able to run a cable from the antenna to our indoor equipment, and this indoor equipment will need a power source.
Stabilized VSAT
For workboats, liftboats and other vessels, a stabilized VSAT terminal may be a better fit, as it will stay connected even while the vessel is in motion. These can be mounted either to a handrail for temporary installs or a to a permanent welded pedestal. Elite uses primarily Intellian Antennas for these installations and is an Intellian Partner.
Auto-Acquire VSAT
Elite supplies auto-acquisition antennas with the capability of automatically acquiring the satellite signal. They are typically mounted on the top of vehicles, trailers, and skids. After onsite setup, the antenna will find the satellite with the push of one button.

Ready to Deploy Communications Skids
