Intellian v100GX Introduction

Intellian v100GX (1.03m) is a Ku-band VSAT maritime antenna system convertible to
Ka-band for Inmarsat's Global Xpress (GX) network. Featuring fully optimized RF
TM
performance for Ku or Ka-band, the v100GX provides advanced VSAT solutions for
Ku-band satellite services that are also designed to be upgraded when the system
is configured to the Ka-band GX high throughput broadband services. To make the
future conversion process easy and simple, the v100GX is equipped with a new
mounting architecture of RF module consisting of BUC and LNB.
The mounting assembly of BUC and LNB is simply attachable to the rear-side of
the reflector so that it will be easily replaced without the need to balance the system
after conversion.
The v100GX is built to meet or exceed the industry's most stringent standards such
as FCC, ETSI, R&TT and MIL-STD-167. With its frequency tuned radome and newly
designed reflector, the v100GX offers the maximized performance both on a Ku-band
VSAT system and a Ka-band Inmarsat Global Xpress system. The antenna's 3-axis
stabilized platform and advanced shock-resistant and vibration damping design
of the Pedestal is fully optimized to withstand the demanding maritime conditions
and to ensure reliable broadband communications. The unlimited azimuth range
ensures continuous tracking without unwrapping the cables in the antenna and
the low elevation angle (-20°) supports seamless signal reception at extremely high
latitudes.
Equipped with Intellian's next generation Antenna Control Software, 'Aptus ', the
®
v100GX antenna can be remotely accessed, monitored and controlled through Serial
connection or secured TCP/IP network. Its graphic-based user interface provides
easy-to-use operating environment. The v100GX has also embedded webserver
and secured web user interface called Web M&C for remote management of the
antenna on a web browser. Network connection can be easily setup through the front
Management Ethernet Port on the ACU that supports automatic IP configuration.
The v100GX is fully integrated with ABS (Automatic Beam Switching) function with
various platform compatibility such as the OpenAMIP protocol of iDirect and the
ROSS Open Antenna Management (ROAM) protocol of Comtech. The v100GX is
supplied with both cross-pol and co-pol feeds and comes equipped with Intellian's
patent pending Global PLL LNB by standard.
