DCI maintains two Ku band flyaway antennas, a 1.2m and a 1.0m.  The 1.0m antenna is backpack-portable and can be carried as checked baggage on an airline.

What makes DCI's flyaway systems unique is the advanced electronics they are equipped with.  Ten-channel ASI muxes, multiple MPEG 4 / MPEG 2 HD encoders, DVB-S2 modulators- all redundant, allow the flyaway to transmit more data in less bandwidth than ever before possible.  For example, in a 18MHz slot using 8PSK, we can easily carry six paths of SD in MPEG 2!  Or in a typical 6MHz slot, we can do two SD or one high-quality HD in MPEG-4.  With the combination of DVB-S2's increase in throughput and MPEG-4 increase in efficiency, space segment costs are lower and easier to book.  We also carry a small 16x16 HD/SD router, a Phabrix HD/SD analyzer, and all the assorted cables, tools, and spare parts needed for successful self-contained transmission from anywhere in the world.

DCI uses new high-power outdoor amplifiers with integrated upconverters, allowing the dish to be installed far from the feed point and without any shelter required.
