AvL Technologies, Inc. was formed by Jim Oliver in 1994 when he was asked to design and manufacture a lightweight positioner for an ERA Technology 1.5M reflector for BAF Communications. Built with aircraft-grade steel cables, the positioner was rigid, backlash-free and lightweight, and demand for Jim’s new positioner followed quickly. Jim since has developed numerous families of antennas and terminals with the cable drive positioner as the core, and fielded 30,000+ antennas in the company’s first 25 years.

With corporate headquarters based in Asheville, North Carolina, AvL offers the world’s largest range of satellite antennas for vehicle-mount, flyaway and fixed Earth station applications with sizes ranging from 60cm to 5.0M. Thanks to state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities, cutting edge designs and development, AvL antennas are extraordinarily sturdy, efficient and reliable. In addition, AvL is well known for providing adept customization to meet specific needs and requirements.

The AvL Technologies campus in Asheville, NC, includes two buildings with 110,000 total square feet of manufacturing space, a test dock at each building, research and development facilities, and a test range nearby.
