M Routers
Upgrade Options
For cases when a more affordable version is needed you can opt for an M router and later upgrade it with a panel or two, when the budget allows. You can also do an initial installation of an M router with one or two panels included so you can take advantage of both – the existing antenna set up and the unique features of the Meridian panels.
Rugged versions of our M routers are usually installed above deck. Such installations can be upgraded with a panel (up to 2 panels possible), typically installed inside an existing VSAT or TVRO dome.
The following criteria has to be met for the upgrade to be possible:
- Distance: a panel has to be installed within 2 meter distance from the M router
- Panel Mounting: panels can be mounted either vertically or horizontally, but not flat
- Mounting bracket: will be provided, you can find more info about brackets here
- Cabling required: cable to connect the panel is a USB 3.2 cable with USB-C connector
- Operating temperature: -40° to +75°C
- Optional: SIM extender can be added
Remarks: 360° non-blocked horizontal line of sight recommended
