ALIGNMENT (SATELLITE SEARCH)

The antenna is aligned automatically. After the UFS 740 has been switched on, the turntable automatically moves to the last channel received and the associated satellite position (e.g. ARD/ASTRA).

This works because every satellite broadcasts its own identification signal, which is automatically identified by the turntable.

The satellite search is started when you select a channel. If the turntable has not yet saved the position of the satellite, you will see the following display when you select a channel (example):

If the vehicle is not on supports during the search process and people are moving around inside it, there is a risk that movement of the vehicle will mean that the satellite is not found.

Press the  button to start search mode.

The search may take a few minutes (generally about four minutes). You will first see the following message:

As soon as the turntable has found the correct satellite, automatic fine-tuning is carried out (and if the signal level is sufficient, the satellite position is immediately saved by the turntable). The screen may “freeze” during fine-tuning – this is determined by the system.

The set position (of the satellite that was found) is saved and the desired channel appears on the TV screen.

CAP 600 specifications

The Kathrein CAP 600 is a cutting-edge solution designed for the modern telecommunications landscape, catering primarily to the demands of mobile network operators and service providers. This compact, high-performance active antenna system is engineered to enhance connectivity in urban environments, significantly improving network efficiency and user experience.

One of the key features of the Kathrein CAP 600 is its multi-band capability. It supports various frequency bands including LTE, 5G NR, and others, making it versatile for both current and future network deployments. This allows operators to seamlessly upgrade their services without needing to overhaul their infrastructure.

The CAP 600 is equipped with advanced MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology, which leverages multiple antennas at both transmitting and receiving ends to boost data throughput and reliability. This technology is essential for maximizing spectral efficiency, thus accommodating more users and higher data rates in dense urban areas.

In terms of design, the Kathrein CAP 600 features a compact and lightweight structure. This is crucial for installations in constrained environments where space is at a premium. The antenna's sleek aesthetics also allow it to blend into its surroundings, thereby reducing visual impact, which is often a concern in urban deployments.

The antenna incorporates intelligent software features that facilitate dynamic beamforming. This enables targeted coverage, allowing signals to be directed towards users rather than being broadcast in all directions, thus minimizing interference and optimizing network performance. Additionally, the built-in remote management capabilities allow operators to monitor and manage network performance in real-time, enhancing operational efficiency.

Regarding sustainability, the CAP 600 is designed with energy efficiency in mind. The use of advanced materials and optimized hardware contributes to lower energy consumption, making it an environmentally friendly choice for operators looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

Overall, the Kathrein CAP 600 is a sophisticated solution that meets the high demands of modern mobile networks. With its advanced features, technologies, and commitment to sustainable operations, it represents a pivotal component for any operator looking to enhance connectivity and provide exceptional service in today’s dynamic telecommunications environment.
