SATLINK2 - 40 WATTS SATELLITE TRANSMITTER FOR DATA BUOY APPLICATIONS
SATLINK2 DATA BUOY
  • Ideal for Buoy Applications
  • Pocket PC Communications
  • 4 Analog & 10 SDI-12 Interfaces

The SL2-B40W-1 has been certified at 40 Watts on GOES 100/300/1200 bps and International DC (GOES/METEOSAT/GMS)

The 40 Watt power level is highly suited for operation on a moving platform or station, such as a buoy, that requires a low gain omnidirectional antenna.

SATLINK2 & DISPLAY

SatLink2 40 Watts may be used with an optional, nonmounted display with the following features:

  • Adds dual communication capability to SatLink2
  • Dimensions: 5 1/2” x 6 1/2” x 1”
  • Optional internal modem
  • Can force a transmission
  • Communications: 3 RS232 ports (one to connect to SatLink 2, one to a PC or PDA, & one to an external modem)
