The C-COM engineering team has developed a proprietary algorithm that allows the iNetVu™ antennas to track inclined orbit satellites. This algorithm, in conjunction with one of the four methods below used by C-COM to locate the satellite, makes it possible for the iNetVu™ mobile antenna system to effectively use an inclined orbit satellite for connectivity.
Search Method using DVB
In this search method a correctly polarized DVB signal is chosen and used as the signal that verifies the correct satellite. This DVB can be any DVB signal on the same satellite. A good choice is a TV station that broadcasts 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
Search Method using RF
In this search method a modem that is directly supported by the iNetVu™ controller is used for verification of the correct satellite. This method operates by looking for a signal sent from a satellite and then asking the modem to verify if that exact frequency is found. This frequency is the operation frequency for that particular modem and client.
Search Method using Reference Satellite
In this search method there is no DVB signal available on the target satellite. In this case a DVB signal is used from an adjoining satellite to locate and verify the position. Once it has been confirmed that this satellite is the correct reference satellite, the platform automatically moves a controlled number of degrees in azimuth, elevation and polarization to the target satellite. The target satellite is then verified by the modem and the Controller can then peak on that signal.
Search Method using Beacon
In this search method an iNetVu™ BR300L Beacon Receiver is employed to verify that the satellite located is in fact the target satellite. This feature can be used in situations where there is no DVB, no direct modem interface and no reliable reference satellite.

This is very urgent, please tell me if I can buy two Platforms 1200 directly with you, I´m in Mexico City and have customers in whole mexican territory. Send me all details (taxes, transportation, etc.). In addition, i´d like to know if you can sell me parts for a damaged equipment.
Thanks.
