Model HWK-15 extended L-band operating frequency (500-3150 MHz) Hawk Matrix is ideally suited for RF signal routing at smaller LEO gateways with small number of modems, where modem redundancy is required, Ka-band and HTS applications or with one or two antennas and remotely accessed teleports.
The 1U Hawk has capacity for up to 4 field serviceable and replaceable 4 x 4 matrix modules – which can be combining (fan-in) or distributive (fan-out) - for uplink and downlink. The compact LEO Matrix can be fitted with any combination of modules, depending on the application.
