SAILOR 900 VSAT Fixed Gain - Why? Traditional VSAT • • • SAILOR 900 VSAT P 1 d. B compression point will change when changing satellite or frequency. A cable loss of 3 d. B will allow only ½ output power of the BUC. Degrading of the coax cable over time. • • Output Power Same P 1 d. B after roaming to another satellite! Same TX power at all TX frequencies! Same TX output regardless of cable type and length! Result … always optimal performance. Output Power BUC saturated! Falling output power due to TX cable loss 8 Watt P 1 d.
