Constellation
The Aurora Pedestal-Mount Controller/Satellite delivers the ultimate in power, ease and value. Aurora is designed to function as a stand-alone controller or can manage an entire satellite network without a central computer. In fact, each Aurora controller/satellite has the power of a central computer for unprecedented control and unparalleled value. The controller/satellite can be operated by a handheld remote control or an Aurora Lite, Enterprise or Professional Central Control System.
