Meet Our 24 ft (7.3 m) Antennas: Big Capability, Proven Performance.

Precision Drive (PD Series™) Pedestal Antennas with HyperTrack™

Digital Dexterity

Quasonix PD Series™ antennas offer a new generation of performance, usability, and versatility. The bedrock of every system is the HyperTrack™ Antenna Controller (HTAC), with real-time FPGA processing for faster response and extremely smooth, accurate tracking. With reflectors from 3 to 24 feet (1 to 7.3 meters), coverage across the full telemetry frequency range, and modular designs engineered for long service life, minimal maintenance, and expandability, we have an antenna to fit your needs—and exceed your expectations.
