Antenna easily disassembles into cases that meet airline checked luggage requirements

BURLINGTON, Iowa – (November 14, 2011) – Staying connected, even in the most remote locations, has come to be expected in today’s fast paced, high tech global market place. The new Winegard airline checkable 1.2m auto-acquire flyaway antenna meets the ever growing need of having a real-time broadband solution in the most remote of locations. Weighing less than 88 lbs each, the cases meet airline checkable luggage requirements paving the way for ultra-portable 2-way communications at destinations that require airline travel. 

“At the end of the day, what makes this antenna so ideal is that it can be assembled and disassembled in just minutes – without tools.” said Jon Manley Director of Engineering and Business Development at Winegard Company.  “No more having to pay expensive freight costs to transport a large, bulky VSAT antenna.
