EXPLORER 8100
1.0m Stabilized, Auto-Acquire, Drive-Away Antenna System

June 2015 Product Sheet - DRAFT

The most important thing we build is trust



Introducing the all-new EXPLORER 8100 VSAT
A unique Dynamic Pointing Correction technology and an
advanced carbon fiber reflector make the 1 meter EXPLORER
8100 the most advanced Auto-Acquire Drive-Away Land VSAT
antenna available.

Uninterupted Communication
Traditional vehicle mounted ‘Comms-On-The-Pause’ VSAT
antennas can lose connection to the satellite with even the
slightest movement of the vehicle on its suspension caused by
high winds or people getting in and out. EXPLORER 8100 isn’t a
traditional VSAT antenna.
With EXPLORER 8100 you can enjoy continuous connectivity
services even if the vehicle rocks thanks to a new and unique
‘Dynamic Pointing Correction’ system. Using lessons learned from
Cobham SATCOM’s maritime stabilized VSAT antennas, EXPLORER
8100 offers the most reliable connectivity available in its class.

Reliably EXPLORER
EXPLORER 8100 is developed completely in-house by Cobham
SATCOM. It features genuine EXPLORER design, which is already
established and proven with Cobham SATCOM’s highly regarded
EXPLORER BGAN and GX terminals.                                      SYSTEM FEATURES
