The Blue Sky SkyLink Extended Scan Antenna Kit is an external antenna solution for compatible SkyLink satellite communication systems. It allows the antenna to be positioned away from the terminal, supporting installations where the SkyLink unit cannot be placed in a location with a clear view of the sky. The kit is identified by part number SL100-SCN.
It is suited to fixed-site, vehicle, marine, and remote equipment installations that require a dedicated external antenna arrangement. Its enclosed antenna housing provides a practical option for mounting the antenna above or outside an equipment enclosure while keeping the SkyLink terminal in a protected or accessible location.
Satellite Phone Store can help confirm compatibility with the intended SkyLink terminal and recommend the appropriate antenna mount, cable routing, and related installation accessories.
Description
External Antenna Placement
The Extended Scan Antenna Kit provides an external antenna connection for compatible Blue Sky SkyLink equipment. Separating the antenna from the terminal allows the antenna to be installed where surrounding structures, equipment compartments, or the installation location would otherwise obstruct satellite visibility.
Designed for Permanent Installations
The enclosed antenna is intended for mounted installations rather than handheld use. It can support deployments on buildings, remote facilities, vehicles, vessels, and field equipment where the terminal is installed indoors or inside a protected equipment area.
For reliable satellite performance, the antenna should be positioned with the clearest practical view of the sky and away from surrounding obstructions. The exact mounting arrangement should be selected according to the installation surface and operating environment.
Flexible Mounting Options
The antenna housing includes mounting points that allow it to be paired with compatible SkyLink deck, mast, rail, or pole-mounting hardware. This makes it adaptable to different fixed and mobile installation requirements without requiring the SkyLink terminal itself to be exposed.
System Compatibility
The kit is sold under Blue Sky/NAL part number SL100-SCN and is intended as a SkyLink system accessory. Compatibility should be confirmed for the specific terminal, antenna connection, and cable configuration before installation.
