2. Functional description

This product,

ThurayaIP Active Portable Antenna (P/N 62 100)

is designed exclusively for use with a ThurayaIP terminal (model no. 9103, by Hughes Network
Systems). The use of this antenna with any other products is not supported.

This antenna enables the use of the highest streaming IP rates of ThurayaIP, and improves
performance for all other modes.

This antenna also enables the use of long cables between the ThurayaIP terminal and the
antenna.

The antenna consists of a directional antenna, a High-Power Amplifier (HPA) for the uplink, a
Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) for the downlink, and the necessary power supply circuitry. This
enables the antenna to meet the required satellite link specifications for the ThurayaIP system.

The antenna must have power available (see chapter 7), and the antenna must be pointed
towards the satellite for proper operation.
