Cobham SATCOM TRACKER 3700 Earth Observation

The TRACKER Range – Enabling innovation and growth for constellations and New Space

A new approach to gateways and user terminals – scalable, easily implemented and supported, and cost-effective. TRACKER Gateways and User Terminals have been selected by LEO/MEO constellation operators, government agencies, and EO and New Space service providers based on proven performance and reliability, robust design suitable for all environments, low total cost of ownership, and Cobham SATCOM’s ability to meet demanding implementation schedules.

Tracker 3700 EO – Leader in Earth Observation and emerging IOT/M2M services

Cobham SATCOM has helped lead development of EO and New Space through its proven TRACKER 3700 EO and 6000 EO series of cost-effective, easily configured, and highly reliable satellite tracking systems.

TRACKER EO systems are in wide-scale operation and have become a leading choice for:

• Mission-critical satellite search and rescue organizations

• Marine traffic and monitoring services

• Earth Observation and imagery companies

• Emerging satellite IoT and M2M providers

The TRACKER 3700 EO is modular and easily configurable, whether for receive only or transmit/ receive, in the widely used S/X band or other single or dual-band combinations. Three-axis tracking with protective radome allows operation in the harshest environments and ensures accurate tracking at all times, with optimum signal quality, uninterrupted passes, low power consumption, and high reliability.

A Modular Platform Designed for Scalability – invest at your own pace Single, Dual, or Triband: invest in what you need today without sacrificing what you will want tomorrow. The TRACKER 3700 EO can be configured for C Band, Ku Band and Ka Band, in any combination. Customers can start with a single or dual band system and upgrade to dual or triband if or when required.

Capable of operating in any GEO and NSGO orbit, TRACKER 3700 EO is the most versatile solution in the industry. Service providers can build 100% orbit and network agnostic on-demand service offerings to meet evolving customer needs.

Unmatched Efficiency & Throughput – True 3.7m Performance Across All Frequencies

Built upon a legacy of over 30 years of research, development and customer collaboration, Cobham SATCOM has optimized the TRACKER series to achieve industry-leading performance. The RF architecture offers the most efficient design in the industry, permitting up to almost double the RF power with the same size antenna and enabling higher throughput and margins. The optimized RF performance includes superior cross-pol isolation; full transmit waveguide to keep the Tx and Rx units close to the feed (OMT), minimizing loss while increasing RF performance; and full illumination of the reflector to maximize gain efficiency. Additionally, this RF design allows the user to configure and reconfigure with of a much broader range of leading commercial RF units than competing systems.

Robust Design & Ease of Installation

The protective radome shields the antenna from all environmental conditions and yields higher tracking accuracy and throughput, with industry-leading reliability. Adding ease and flexibility of installation, and the proprietary balanced low-power tracking system ensure uninterrupted operation at a significantly lower total cost of ownership than other systems.

Systems are delivered pre-configured and pretested, with simple software tools and standard interfaces, allowing quick installation, configuration and connection to the user network. They also come with a full warranty, backed by Cobham SATCOM’s 24/7 customer service and global support network, with optional installation and tailored support services.
