Overview - Minimize AOG Downtime

Get the most out of your communication networks with the Bird SiteHawk series. Our powerful device offers critical coverage and a wide frequency range from 1 MHz to 9000 MHz, ensuring you have the ability to find any discrepancies in your cables and connectors.

With Bird's DTF (Distance to Fault) mode, SK-9000-TC can identify the exact location of any fault quickly and accurately, saving time and money! Take control of your networks today with SiteHawk.

With the new addition of increased coverage to 9GHz, SiteHawk is now capable of monitoring the C-Band (4 - 8GHz) satellite communications and some X-Band radar frequency sub-bands.This versatile product will benefit government, military, and public sector users. Get the coverage you need with SiteHawk.

Product Features

• Test RF cables and antennas at the frequency of operation.
• Locate RF cable, connector and antenna problems at the source.
• FDR (Frequency Domain Reflectometry) measurement method results in a highly reliable assessment of the health of critical components in your system; ultimately providing a “heads-up” before a failure occurs.
• Fault location or DTF mode plots VSWR or Return Loss levels at each distance point along the cable and antenna system length.
• Cable Loss function measures insertion loss of the cable system over a given frequency range.
• OTG USB communication port for connection to Bird power sensors, storage devices and battery charging.
