Automatic Alignment and Peaking System Antenna Positioning System Superior Access Solutions, Inc. introduces its full antenna positioning system (APS) that works with Pan-Tilt positioners to automatically align mobile antennas with a fixed tower site. This system utilizes a single board computer that executes the control algorithm and controls the tilt and azimuth of the locally connected positioner.

Automatic Alignment and Peaking System

Antenna Positioning

System

Superior Access Solutions, Inc. introduces its full antenna positioning system (APS) that works with Pan-Tilt positioners to automatically align mobile antennas with a fixed tower site. This system utilizes a single board computer that executes the control algorithm and controls the tilt and azimuth of the locally connected positioner. The system is housed in a 1RU chassis and user control is accomplished using a simple intuitive LCD display. Auto-peaking is supported via an SNMP-enabled interface to the microwave radio.

The system is designed to be compliant with a number of off-the-shelf positioning systems and microwave radios. Currently, the APS supports the following end-hardware:

• Simplifies establishing RF links from 0 - 10 miles

• Easy to interpret link statistics

• Cost-effective modular design allows system to work with a variety of equipment

• Uses SNMP and IP communications for system control
