Features of Intellian v100GX
Ku to Ka-band convertible terminal
The v100GX can be converted from a Ku-band system to a Ka-band GX
simple steps. The v100GX is equipped with an integrated RF module consisting of BUC and
LNB. This BUC and LNB mounting assembly is attached to the rear side of the reflector in
order to support easy conversion and balance-free installation.
Optimized reflector for Ku or Ka-band
The v100GX is designed and engineered to operate on both Ku and Ka-band. The reflector
of the v100GX is capable of handling either Ku or Ka-band without the need to replace the
reflector when the system is converted to Ka-band. The system is supplied with a Ku-band
feed chain as standard. The 1m reflector for the v100GX satisfies EIRP and G/T performance
of both Ku and Ka-band.
Frequency tuned radome
To ensure efficient operations for both Ku-band VSAT and Ka-band Inmarsat Global Xpress
systems, the v100GX has the tuned radome to minimize signal loss while offering improved
RF pattern for both Ku and Ka-band systems.
Gyro-free satellite search capability
Intellian's new generation gyro-free satellite search function enables the v100GX to acquire
and lock onto the satellite without requiring a separate input from the ship's gyrocompass.
DVB/DVB-S2 and NBD detection capability
Intellian v100GX is capable of detecting DVB-S/DVB-S2 signal, SCPC, and Narrow- Band
signal using integrated digital tuner and the narrow band detector (NBD).
Graphical and user-friendly antenna control software
Intellian's next generation Antenna Control Software, 'Aptus
Intellian developed 'Antenna Remote Management System (ARMS) Software Development
Kit (SDK)'. This graphic-based software is designed to remotely monitor and control Intellian
antennas through an IP network.
Dedicated Management Ethernet Port
The v100GX has a Management Ethernet Port on the ACU front that enables direct and
simple network connection between a PC and the ACU. The Management Port supports
DHCP network connection by default, allowing automatic IP configurations, Internet access
and quick access to Intellian's remote management solution, the Web M&C.
Wireless access via WiFi and Bluetooth
The built-in WiFi wireless network card enables the ACU to be wirelessly connected that can
be either turned on and off by a switch. Any kind of wireless devices such as PCs, laptops
and smartphones can be used to connect to the ACU and monitor, control and change
the settings of Intellian antenna system wirelessly. Users can also access and control the
antenna with a PC that has Bluetooth capability. The Bluetooth connectivity enables wireless
antenna monitoring and control from a PC without Ethernet or Serial Cable connection.
Intelligent firmware upgrade
Intellian v100GX provides easy and intelligent firmware upgrade methods. Firmware upgrade
can be automatically initiated by plugging a firmware stored USB Memory Stick to the USB
Port on the ACU front or by launching 'Firmware Upgrade' on the Aptus® or Web M&C.
User can also manually select a firmware file on a local disk and complete the upgrade. The
firmware can be rolled back to a previous version as the ACU's built-in memory stores the
current and previous firmware files.
