FAQ

Q1: What vehicles can the SDL-900 be installed on?: It is designed for SUVs, pickup trucks, off‑road vehicles, and light tactical vehicles. The 120mm ultra‑thin profile allows roof or roof‑rack mounting without drilling or permanent modifications to the vehicle body.
Q2: How does it track satellites while the vehicle is moving?: The phased‑array antenna uses electronic beam steering (no mechanical movement). Beam switching happens in nanoseconds – the terminal continuously calculates the satellite position relative to the vehicle’s motion and instantly re‑points the beam, maintaining lock even at high speeds, over bumps, or during turns.
Q3: What is the real‑world data throughput?: Actual throughput depends on satellite operator, beam configuration, and service plan. With G/T ≥12.5dB/K and EIRP ≥51dBW, the SDL-900 supports high‑definition video streaming, VoIP, secure data links, and broadband internet at typical Ku‑band speeds (e.g., 10‑50Mbps down / 2‑10Mbps up, depending on subscription).
Q4: Is it easy to install and operate?: Yes. Installation requires only a DC24V power connection and placing the unit on the roof (or rack). No vehicle body modification needed. Operation is automatic – the terminal self‑initializes, acquires the satellite, and tracks while driving. A simple remote control or app interface is provided.
Q5: What environments can it survive?: The SDL-900 is built for extreme conditions: IP65 protection (dust‑tight, water jets), operating temperature -40°C to +55°C, humidity up to 95%. It works in deserts, snow, heavy rain, and high‑vibration off‑road environments. Perfect for military, emergency management, oil & gas exploration, and remote field teams.
