LinkAlign-60EBP-20 — PoE Antenna Positioner for Microwave & E-Band

Overview

The LinkAlign-60EBP-20 by Nextmove Technologies is a Power over Ethernet (PoE) antenna positioner engineered to automatically align and maintain directional side arm mount antennas. It is designed to stabilize line-of-sight point-to-point data links operating across microwave (11-29 GHz) and millimeter-wave E-Band (30-90 GHz) frequencies.

Technical Summary

• Positioner Type: Azimuth and elevation (Az/El)
• Frequency Range Supported: 11-29 GHz and 30-90 GHz (Ku, K, Ka, V, W, mm bands)
• Tracking Travel: ±30° azimuth and elevation
• Payload Capacity: Up to 200 lbs (90.7 kg)
• Power & Control: Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Operational Use Cases

This positioner is utilized to maintain highly directional data links that feature very narrow beamwidths. It automatically corrects for signal degradation caused by thermal mast expansion, wind events, or other environmental disturbances, reducing manual realignment downtime.

Deployment Environments

The LinkAlign-60EBP-20 is intended for fixed-site platform installations. It mounts to static masts to continuously peak directional communications links in challenging outdoor environments where minor physical disturbances disrupt E-band connections.

Performance Metrics

• Azimuth Range: ±30°
• Elevation Range: ±30°
• Maximum Payload: 200 lbs (90.7 kg)

Setup & Portability

Users execute initial link alignment through a full-featured web-based interface. The unit simplifies installation by delivering power and control data over a single PoE connection. It is designed to mount on fixed masts ranging from 3 to 4.5 inches in outer diameter.

Compatibility

The positioner is typically paired with 3-foot side arm mount antennas weighing up to 200 lbs. The automated peaking software triggers adjustments based on RSSI threshold settings or on-demand commands from compatible radio systems.

FAQs

• What is the primary function of the LinkAlign-60EBP-20? It is a motorized azimuth and elevation positioner that automatically aligns and maintains highly directional microwave and E-Band antennas to prevent link degradation.
• How does the auto-link maintenance feature work? The positioner monitors the link using a predefined RSSI threshold. If signal strength drops due to wind or thermal expansion, it automatically peaks the antenna to restore optimal alignment.
• What payloads can this positioner support? It accommodates side arm mount antennas weighing up to 200 lbs (90.7 kg). Verify that the chosen fixed mast can support the combined weight of the positioner and antenna.
• 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).
