DARKWING

flat panel global connectivity

DARKWING

DarkWing is a rugged, small form factor, lightweight, flat-panel VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal), providing high-speed data communications for internet, VPN connectivity and video transmission.

Designed for fast setup, the integration of the modem, RF components, and antenna into a single assembly makes deployment simple and the DarkWing can be operational in under five minutes.

The DarkWing acquires the satellite through an elegant and simple GUI assisted manual pointing process.

This terminal uses an integrated GPS and compass to provide operators with a pointing solution along with visual indicators for adjustments via the integrated, user-friendly display.
