[ANSS-netops] DC powered VSAT

[Stickney, Mike]

We are operating a HughsNet VSAT with a solar system in NW Montana. Greg Steiner, at VLF Designs, developed an efficient and reliable dc-dc converter for this installation. You might check with Greg.

Hello

At PRSN I was using for a long time a dc to dc converter from Hughes. It has a good reliability and it is sealed, good for the field. It is configured for the HN7000.  I am attaching a picture of this unit. Let me know if you can open the jpg file.

I hope this helps.
Regards
Juan Lugo

Hello Geohazards Community,

Is anyone out there operating a VSAT on a DC system?  Preferably one that is efficient enough to be powered on a solar/battery system, and can support continuous real-time telemetry.

Any info would be awesome.  Thanks.

Have a great weekend,
John
