Cobham EXPLORER 5075GX Fly-Away Antenna Rental
A crew is heading to a site with no existing infrastructure and needs a connection standing before the story airs, the command post opens, or the site goes live. The EXPLORER 5075GX is the heaviest, most specialised terminal Satmodo rents, and this is who it is built for.
The date you choose is the day it arrives. Pick the day you want the equipment in your hands, not the day you leave. Your rental starts the day you receive it and ends the day we get it back, so leave yourself a day or two to test everything before you travel.

What you can rent
Every unit is pre-tested and activated before it leaves the warehouse, so it works the moment you switch it on. Most orders ship the same day, and you can collect in San Diego if that beats waiting on a courier.
What a fly-away system is for
A fly-away antenna is built to be broken down, moved to a location by air or by road, and stood back up by a small crew, then broken down again when the job is done. It is the equipment behind a live field broadcast with no fixed uplink nearby, the first connectivity a disaster response team puts up at a staging area, and the link a government or energy operation stands up at a site that has nothing else.
It is not the terminal you reach for when a BGAN case or a maritime unit already covers the job. It exists for the deployments where the connection itself is the mission, not a convenience alongside it, and where whatever link goes up has to hold for as long as the operation runs.
Who rents one
A broadcaster arriving at a story with no fixed uplink nearby and a deadline that does not move for the local infrastructure. A disaster response organisation reaching a staging area after the ground infrastructure has gone down, needing a command post connection before anything else is back online. A government or energy operation working a remote site on its own schedule, for as long as the project runs rather than for a single afternoon.
It is the heaviest and most specialised terminal Satmodo rents, built for that kind of deployment rather than everyday use. If your job is one person filing a story from a hotel with wifi, this is not your rental. If your job is standing up the only connection at a site that otherwise has none, this is the conversation to have.
Why this starts with a phone call, not a checkout
A deployment like this depends on details a checkout form was never built to capture: the site, the timeline, how the antenna needs to travel, and what support you need once it is on the ground. Call (800) 279-2366 and Satmodo's specialists will work through those details with you before anything is booked, rather than asking you to guess at options on a page built for a much simpler rental.
That conversation is also where the practical questions get answered: how long the deployment runs, whether you are shipping to a site or collecting the unit yourselves, and what happens if the operation runs longer than planned. None of that is a good fit for a self-serve cart, and treating it like one is how the wrong equipment ends up on the wrong truck.
What you do not have to worry about is whether the unit itself works. Every device Satmodo rents, including this one, is pre-tested, activated and verified before it leaves the warehouse, and rental insurance is available as a per-day add-on if the deployment calls for it. Support runs 24/7 from US-based, certified specialists for the length of the rental, so the call you make to book it is not the last time anyone is reachable.
Questions people ask before they book
Do I need to call before I can rent this?
Yes. Call (800) 279-2366 before you try to book online. A fly-away deployment depends on your site, your timeline and how the antenna needs to travel, and Satmodo's specialists work through those details with you rather than leaving it to a checkout form.
Is the terminal tested before it ships?
Yes. Every device Satmodo rents, including the EXPLORER 5075GX, is pre-tested, activated and verified before it leaves the warehouse, so what you receive has already been confirmed working rather than tested for the first time on your site, on the day you most need it to work.
Can I insure the rental?
Yes. Rental insurance is available as a per-day add-on on every Satmodo rental, including this one. Ask about it when you call to arrange the booking, especially given how much a broadcast, response or field deployment depends on the unit working for the whole time it is out.
Who typically rents a fly-away system like this?
Broadcasters covering a story with no existing infrastructure, disaster response teams standing up a command post, and government or energy operations working a remote site. It is the heaviest and most specialised terminal Satmodo rents, built for that kind of deployment rather than everyday use.
How do I get the unit and get support once it is out?
You can have it shipped to arrive on your chosen date or collect it from Satmodo's San Diego location, and support runs 24/7 from US-based, certified specialists for the length of the rental. Call (800) 279-2366 to set up the details for your deployment.
