Modular, customized concept<br />
Trailer and power supply<br />
MX400 is of modular design, configured<br />
in close cooperation with the customer<br />
and tailored to his needs<br />
(FIG 2). It is made up of<br />
• a trailer with integrated hydraulic<br />
platform and detachable cabin<br />
and<br />
• a separate Diesel generator on a<br />
single-axle trailer (FIG 3).<br />
A scissor-lift hydraulic system elevates<br />
the cabin to the required operational<br />
height of 6.5 m (or to levels in between).<br />
The cabin is designed as an<br />
independent subsystem meeting all<br />
operational requirements of a mobile<br />
system (FIG 5) and complies with the<br />
standards of ATC authorities and the<br />
ICAO (International Civil Aviation<br />
Organization).<br />

Up to three control<br />
positions allow full<br />
access to radiocommunication<br />
equipment, voice<br />

and meteorological<br />
data<br />

HF, VHF and UHF radiocommunication<br />
The proven transceivers of the 200/<br />
400U series <strong>from</strong> <strong>Rohde</strong> & <strong>Schwarz</strong><br />
are used for communication in the VHF<br />

and UHF bands. HF transceivers and<br />
a VHF-UHF direction finder are optional.<br />
Controllers are integrated for operation<br />
of the entire radio equipment.<br />
Global use and highly mobile<br />
MX400 is set up and put into operation<br />
in a minimum of time. Two persons<br />
will need approximately one hour.<br />
The tower is easily transported, so<br />
changing the site is just as fast. Cabin<br />
dimensions (20" standard size) are in<br />
line with DIN and ISO regulations<br />
and standards. This simplifies international<br />
transportation:<br />
… by land<br />
• The complete system can be<br />
attached to a vehicle, eg Unimog,<br />
with the generator coupled to the<br />
trailer or<br />
• piggybacked on a truck<br />
… by sea<br />
• Transport in a ship as the top<br />
container<br />
… and by air<br />
• Transport in a plane, eg Hercules<br />
C-130 or Ilyushin (FIG 4)<br />
• or by helicopter<br />
