GRC and Avanti announce compatibility approval for Sandfly Ka-Band satellite terminal

Following rigorous type approval testing, GRC’s new four piece carbon fibre manual fly away satellite system has been endorsed for use on Avanti Communications fleet of Ka-band satellites.

The market leading combination of the new GRC SandFly system and Avanti’s high quality satellite technology provides a cost effective mobile satellite solution for all users requiring a flexible, mobile Ka-band service. Avanti is a leading global satellite operator, with vast experience of deploying high speed data communications to consumers, enterprises, governments and carrier services beyond the reach of fibre.

The new GRC SandFly antenna is designed to transmit and receive operation in Ka-band, providing an extremely light-weight segmented reflector that is easily transported in a handheld transit case.

“We are delighted to have achieved Avanti Ka-band Type Approval for our Sandfly system. We believe this combination provides an unrivalled and cost-effective mobile solution under Avanti’s satellite footprint and will prove invaluable to any organisation requiring high speed satellite broadband.” – Tony Talbot – Technical Sales Manager for GRC
