MEOLUT Antenna and Ground Station
The MEOLUT-600 is a Local User Terminal that processes 406MHz distress beacon alerts over next-generation Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) Satellites providing rapid notification to Search and Rescue Authorities worldwide. It is part of an integrated and comprehensive Search & Rescue (SAR) solution from Honeywell Global Tracking.
- Reliability
The MEOLUT-600 offers exceptional uptime, accuracy and reliability for SAR operations worldwide.
- Fast New Medium-Earth Orbit Technology
MEOLUT-600 bridges existing geostationary and low-earth orbit infrastructure and can confirm the location of an emergency alert within seconds.
- Flexible
Fully configurable, making it possible to precisely match the needs of customers.
- Efficient
Provides fast position confirmation of alert beacon signals, especially in geographies where fewer satellites may be seen, leading to more efficient use of SAR resources.
- COSPAS-SARSAT Standards Compliant
Meets and exceeds COSPAS-SARSAT requirements
- Capabilities
Supports ELT(DT) and RLS beacons; Supports First and Second Generation beacons
- Seamless Integration
Ease-of-integration into existing SAR systems saves time and money.
Product Details
The MEOLUT-600 automatically monitors alerts from a growing constellation of MEO satellites and uses advanced signal processing to pinpoint the location of an alert signal in its coverage zone.
