Overview

The FV-110GX is a unique stabilized maritime GX antenna system operating in the Ka-
band (19.2 to 30 GHz). It is used with the Global Xpress service from Inmarsat, delivering
consistent high-performance download speeds of up to 50 Mbps and 5 Mbps over the
uplink. The following figure shows the coverage map of the GX service at global service
introduction.
The FV-110GX system consists of the following units:
• Above Deck Unit (ADU)
• Antenna Control Unit (ACU)
• GX Modem Unit (GMU)
The system only requires a single 50 Ohm cable to provide the Above Deck Unit (ADU)
with both DC power, data and control information. The radome does not have to be
removed neither before nor after the installation. To protect the ADU the built-in DC
motors act as brakes during transport and when the ADU is not powered. You can access
the FV-110GX remotely and make in-depth performance analysis using the built-in web
interface.
