StealthRay 5000

2-way low-profile in-motion satellite antenna with enlarged Tx panels

The StealthRay 5000 was developed specifically to offer higher return link data rates. The antenna supports the transmission of high-resolution, high-quality, streaming video from mobile units in the field to a fixed station. Featuring higher transmit gain, the antenna allows approximately 80% higher return link bit rate than the StealthRay 2000 – given all else is equal.

Like the other mobile satellite antennas in this product line, the StealthRay 5000 antenna employs a GPS and gyro-assisted mechanical tracking system. The built-in GPS and gyro are used for a fast and fully automatic satellite acquisition. High-speed satellite tracking technology supports communication at speeds up to 220 mph.

The StealthRay 5000 can be configured for use with virtually any Ku band satellite to enable IP connectivity on fast-moving vehicles for real-time, high-quality, streaming video, VoIP and high-speed data applications.
