9293S3 Antenna Control Unit
Modem 9293S3 antenna control system comprises an Antenna Control Unit
(ACU) and Antenna Drive Unit (ADU) which are linked via dedicated
Ethernet or fiber connections. This system is compatible with RS232/RS485,
Ethernet, optical fiber and other network communication modes. Compared
with the traditional control system, the stability, response time,
anti-interference ability and expansibility of this system have been
significantly improved. In addition, the upgrade and maintenance of this
system can be operated remotely based on the Internet and LAN, as well as
providing users with a software one-button upgrade interface.
