The 1U Hawk Matrix has capacity for two 8x8 field replaceable matrix cards – which can be the combining or distributive for uplink and downlink applications. The Hawk can be fitted with any combination of cards depending on application, but is ideally suited for smaller gateways with multiple modems and one or two antennas. Model number is dependant upon full matrix module configuration.
Single 8x16 & 16x8 configurations are also available - please enquire.
