The ATOM 250 Watt Ku-Dual band BUC provides 250W of saturated

can be configured to suit operation on any Ku Band satellite. Ethernet, redundancy
configurations, EMI/EMC, and other custom options are available

and 60% more energy efficient than alternatives, enabling a wide
range of applications including TWTA replacement, Satellite News
Gathering, transportable VSAT, Satcom on the Move, and Radar. The
ATOM 250W also includes ATOMControl, the same Management and
Control software that powers the full ATOM Ku and Ka family of
products.
