SABR VSAT Overview
The SwiftLink® SABR family offers three (3) sizes of multiband VSAT terminals, supporting Ka, Ku, X and C-band
frequencies. The unique pack-in-the-box design, available in 1.2m,
2.0m and 2.4m, allows for ease of transport and set-up, allowing
for full functionality in less than 30 minutes. The pre-assembled
feed boom unit allows warfighters to change the VSAT operating
frequency in less than 2 minutes to minimize communication
downtime. A single-button satellite acquisition capability further
