LinkAlign-360RPT-F10 — Auto Acquisition Antenna Positioner

Overview

The LinkAlign-360RPT-F10 is a Power Over Ethernet (PoE) antenna positioner engineered to automatically point and peak directional antennas. It establishes and optimizes microwave line-of-sight communications using onboard navigation sensors and radio signal strength feedback.

Technical Summary

• Payload Capacity: Up to 45 lbs (20.4 kg)
• Azimuth Range: 400° continuous
• Elevation Range: +/-10°
• Navigation Sensors: Built-in GPS and digital compass
• Power: Power Over Ethernet (PoE)

Operational Use Cases

Optimized for microwave line-of-sight communications requiring rapid automated target acquisition, closed-loop peaking, and reliable recall of known target coordinates.

Deployment Environments

Designed for mast-mounted deployments where continuous or frequent azimuth rotation is required. The non-rotating base eliminates cable wrap challenges during operation.

Performance Metrics

• Maximum Payload: 45 lbs (20.4 kg)
• Azimuth Movement: 400° continuous
• Elevation Movement: +/-10°

Setup & Portability

Installation is streamlined by a non-rotating base that houses the PoE input and Ethernet pass-through connectors. Configuration and control are managed through a full-featured web-based user interface that includes a stored locations database for rapid targeting.

Compatibility

Typically paired with 1-to-2-foot directional antennas. Interacts directly with microwave radios to enable final auto-peaking via radio signal strength data.

FAQs

• How does the positioner optimize a communication link? It utilizes a built-in GPS and digital compass to direct the antenna toward known coordinates, followed by a final auto-peak using radio signal strength feedback.
• How does the non-rotating base design manage cables? The base contains the Power Over Ethernet (PoE) input and Ethernet pass-through connectors and remains stationary relative to the mast, preventing cable wrap during rotation.
• What payload size is supported by this positioner? It supports payloads up to 45 lbs (20.4 kg) and is typically paired with 1-to-2-foot antennas. Verify the fully assembled antenna weight falls within this limit before installation.
• Problems we solve: where do we start with incomplete requirements? An incomplete specification can make product selection difficult. Start by sharing the task, operating environment and known constraints with Cyntony so the team can help define what to verify and which options are worth discussing (Our process).
• Outcomes we deliver: what comes from working through the requirements? The practical outcome is a requirements-led set of product options to evaluate with Cyntony. Confirm performance, compatibility and any service scope for your configuration before selection (Our process).
