Hiltron To Demo Latest HMAM At IBC

Hiltron Communications is to demonstrate the latest version of its HMAM motorised satellite antenna mount at IBC2015. Designed for two-way VSAT communication or receive-only downlink applications, the antenna mount can be used for a wide range of applications including broadcast and telecommunication downlinks.

The HMAM will be displayed in compact form for up to 2.4 metre diameter dishes. Making its first exhibition appearance will be a new motorised feed changer which allows the head to be moved quickly to a new position for switching between two different frequency bands. The system comes with professional-grade drives for azimuth and elevation plus a high-accuracy polarisation drive. The combined head and drive form a three-axis motorised system with 180 degrees of azimuth adjustment, 90 degrees of elevation adjustment range and fully adjustable polarisation. The HMAM is fully compatible with Hiltron's standard HACU antenna positioning system.

The Hiltron HMAM-IOT variant incorporates inclined-orbit tracking. To conserve guidance propellant, older satellites are allowed to drift further from their nominal target position than during their main service life. Operators therefore offer reduced transponder capacity pricing. The HMAM-IOT's advanced tracking capabilities enable the antenna to follow these variations in position. It is the ideal solution for cost-efficient uplinks on inclined-orbit satellites.

Hiltron will exhibit on stand 4.B89 at IBC2015, and will be represented by Managing Director Jan Molter and colleagues.
