Cobham SATCOM TRACKER 4000

The TRACKER Range – Enabling innovation and growth for constellations and service providers

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.

Modular and easily configured, TRACKER terminals are available in a range of sizes and in single or dual frequency bands. 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.

Whether high speed communications, data transfers, or IoT and M2M links, TRACKER has become the most cost-effective and dependable choice for businesscritical, carrier grade gateways and landing stations.

TRACKER 4000 – High performance, cost effective Ka-Band gateways terminals

Optimized for multi-antenna, networked operations across a broad range of installation locations and environments, the TRACKER 4000 is a proven choice for NGSO constellation gateways and landing stations. The robust, radome protected systems are highly reliable and easily implemented, combining high uptime with low operating costs. TRACKER 4000 systems provide uninterrupted, high throughput links in challenging locations, from arctic to desert.

The three-axis design, industry-leading tracking performance, and radome protection help maximize throughput and margins, while the modular design is optimized for installation, maintenance and sparing.

Unmatched Efficiency & Throughput – True 4.0m 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 pre-tested, 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.
