AvL Technologies Launches 1.35m Tri-Band FlyAway Antenna with IATA Compliance

This new portable antenna addresses the demand for agile, high-bandwidth satellite connectivity in diverse operational environments, particularly for field deployments where rapid setup and compact transport are critical. The IATA-compliant packing reduces logistical hurdles and costs for transport, widening its potential application for temporary broadcast links or disaster response. Given the ongoing expansion of satellite-based content delivery and contributions, expect to see further developments in compact, high-performance satellite communication hardware from other vendors focused on ease of deployment.

AvL Technologies has a history of developing portable satellite antennas, with older models like the 1.2m Tri-Band Motorized Tripod FlyAway Antenna and various 85cm and 1.0m Mobile VSAT FlyAway Terminals already in the market (AvL Technologies, prior to June 2024). The company has previously noted strong adoption of its 1.2m 1030-T Rugged FlyAway antennas, with over 4,000 units in operation globally, many used by prime contractors for U.S. military programs (AvL Technologies, prior to June 2024). The focus on IATA-compliant packing and quick assembly aligns with a broader industry trend towards more mobile and flexible communication infrastructure, essential for remote production and emergency services where traditional fixed infrastructure is unavailable or impractical. While specific competitive launches of similar 1.35m tri-band portable antennas have not been widely reported in recent months, the demand for such features continues to drive innovation in the satellite communications hardware sector.
