Intellian v240M Satellite Communications System
Intellian v240M Satellite Communications System
The Intellian v240M Satellite Communications is the world’s first antenna to provide auto-switching 2.4m performance in both C- and Ku-band on a single reflector. It brings top-notch performance in a complete global communication solution for the maritime market. The Intellian v240M Satellite Communications brings convenience to an already convenient service making connecting at sea simple for everyone.
Intellian v240M Highlights
- Auto-switching between C- and Ku-band within seconds
- RF Switch Enabled Modem Mediator
- Gyro-Free Satellite Search Capability without input from a ship’s compass
- Supports extremely high and low elevation angles (-20° to +120°)
- 3-Year Global Warranty backed by over 300 Intellian Service and Support centers around the world
- Auto-switching between circular and linear polarization when operating in C-band
- Remote Management using Aptus Web. Wi-Fi enabled ACU for local control using Aptus Mobile or PC
- Save installation and maintenance time with automated diagnostics and built in Spectrum Analyzer feature
- Dual VSAT Mediator integrates two VSAT antennas to combat onboard blockage zones
Superior Flexibility
Today’s vessels must operate globally and relocate from one ocean to another without delay. Having flexibility to use different frequency bands or to choose between different satellites within a region or when in port is a compelling advantage. The Intellian v240M Satellite Communications antenna’s high efficiency, offset fed reflector, and an ultra-wide elevation angle enable superb connectivity virtually anywhere you go, even in extremely high latitudes. The antenna’s high efficiency, offset fed reflector, and an ultra-wide elevation angle enable superb connectivity virtually anywhere you go, even in extremely high latitudes. This flexiblity brings an added convenience to an already convenient line of equipment from Intellian.
True 2.4m MultiBand Performance
Conventional MultiBand solutions have only partially addressed market needs by mounting a 2.4m C-band reflector and a 1.2m Ku-band reflector inside a single radome. The benefit of only installing one antenna is clear. The limitation, however, is lower performance in Ku-band and much slower switching time between C- and Ku-band. The Intellian v240M provides outstanding 2.4m performance in both frequency bands, delivering faster download speeds, increased offshore coverage in Ku-band and significant improvements in link economy to both the end user and service provider. Furthermore, switching time is reduced from over one minute to mere seconds.
