Ease of use

The system operates from Dawson custom software that is pre programmed to search for the required satellite using the built in DVB receiver. The operational interface is a simple three button. One for deploy, One for stow and an emergency stop. The display also provides a progress meter and a Eb/No meter so that pointing progress can be monitored from the main screen.

There are even manual push buttons on the controller to give complete redundancy of control.

Compatibility

With the system so light and compact it can be fitted to virtually any base vehicle, especially with the low stow height and light weight, this gives flexibility to coachbuilders pushed for height restrictions.
