CPI Model 970 Antenna Control System | Full-Motion Satellite Tracking
The CPI Model 970 is a high-precision antenna control system designed for full-motion satellite, spacecraft, and celestial tracking. It features advanced pointing, acquisition, and tracking modes—including Optrack, Monopulse, and NORAD—along with support for all pedestal types (AZ/EL, X-Y, HA/Dec). The system integrates a touchscreen ACU, robust PDU, and optional TRU for dynamic signal tracking. With CE and FCC compliance, ethernet control, and field-upgradable software, the Model 970 offers a future-proof solution for GEO, MEO, LEO, and beyond.
