The present disclosure describes a telecommunications equipment mount. The mount includes a stabilization frame having a bottom and at least three sides, the bottom and sides defining an open interior cavity, at least one mounting member perpendicular to one of the sides of the stabilization frame and extending outwardly from the side of the stabilization frame a distance, and at least one brace member. The at least one brace member includes a first bracket coupled to one side of the stabilization frame and configured to be secured to the at least one mounting member and a second bracket extending outwardly from the same side of the stabilization frame at an angle. A first end of the second bracket is coupled to a lower end of the first bracket and a second opposing end of the second bracket is configured to be secured to the at least one mounting member at a different location than the first bracket. The stabilization frame is configured to ballast the mount on a mounting structure when telecommunications equipment is secured to the mount. Telecommunications equipment mount assemblies are also described herein.

A vehicle, vessel or airplane having an antenna and a motor rotating the antenna, a rotation encoder outputting information relating to the rotation and outputting the information to two controllers of which one controls the motor. The other controller receives the rotation information and information relating to a position/direction/axis in relation to the vehicle/vessel/airplane and outputting a second signal based thereon. The output of the second controller may be used for controlling the motor to have the antenna directed toward e.g. a satellite irrespective of the motion of the vehicle/airplane/vessel.

The present invention relates to a director mount arrangement for automatic alignment of a subsystem relative to a platform, wherein said director mount arrangement is arranged to pivotably support the subsystem. The director mount arrangement comprises a pivot frame arrangement and a control system. The control system comprises a control unit arranged to generate control signals so as to control the orientation of and stabilize the subsystem. The control signals are generated based on angular rate of subsystem and orientation operating commands provided from an operator. The control unit further generates estimated control signals based on platform orientation information and determine a difference between the control signals and the estimated control signals, wherein the difference is indicative of mechanical misalignments between the subsystem and the platform. The control unit further generates alignment corrections based on the determined difference so as to automatically align the subsystem relative to the platform.

A technique for controlling an airborne antenna system (304) for a radio telecommunications network mounted on an aircraft (300) is described. As to a method aspect performed by the aircraft (300), a physical antenna orientation of the antenna system (304) relative to geographic cardinal directions is determined. The physical antenna orientation is stabilized in a predefined direction relative to the geographic cardinal directions by controlling a rotational actuator (514) of the antenna system (304).
