The IRT Technologies C-Band PicoBUC® series are revolutionary in size and weight - PicoBUC® offers superior performance in an extremely compact package that can fit in your palm! Weighing at only 6lbs, the new PicoBUC® is the most powerful and feature rich for its size: Up to 50W Psat. Built in AC power supply provides the customer with the simplest and least expensive plug-into-the wall solution. IRT PicoBUC® features best in class RF characteristics, embedded output isolator, extensive monitor and control capabilities enabled via Ethernet, Serial and/or Analog Interfaces. PicoBUC® remarkably small size and low power consumption results in better heat extraction that leads to overall system size and cost reduction. Its small size and weight allows direct feed horn mounting, which makes it a most economical solution for fixed VSAT applications.
