 +
 +==== Installation ====
 +
 +The installation requires
 +
 +  * 24 DC power supply cable
 +  * install of the Taoglas Antenna
 +  * install of the Spelzberg box
 +  * optional install of the Ethernet Cable for fixed wire access
 +
 +{{::​sw-antenna-kurdi.jpg?​1024|Antenna Ground Box on Alan Kurdi}}
 +
 +The image shows the installed SearchWing Antenna Box on the Alan Kurdi. The box contains a Wifi Access Point for a connection to the flight tablet computer. It is therefore recommended to operate the tablet in proximity to the box.
 +
 +==== Antenna Box V2 ====
 +
 +A new PCB board integrates the voltage regulator, RFD868+ modem, UART to Ethernet Converter on one board. Everything is now installed via "​Hutschiene"​. This version was installed on the [[https://​www.hs-augsburg.de/​searchwing/​de/​seawatch-tests-2021/​|mission with Sea-Watch 4 with Philipp]].
 +
 +=== Electronics / Board ===
 +
 +Franc and Tim designed a board for the antenna ground box.
