Intellian has announced the v100NX, a new 1-metre, Ku- to Ka-band convertible maritime VSAT terminal designed to enhance the efficacy of satellite communication systems. This cutting-edge addition to the NX series aims to streamline every phase of the VSAT lifecycle.
Enabling access to a range of global satellite communication services, it provides crucial connectivity for adopting advanced digital solutions that improve both efficiency and welfare.
Intellian Network Services
The v100NX, a dual-band convertible antenna, is equipped for future technological shifts, supporting tracking across GEO, MEO, and LEO satellite constellations.
Future network services will benefit from its optimised reflector and radome, designed for efficiency over the 2.5GHz wideband Ka spectrum.
NX Platform Antenna Systems
Common modules deliver additional value by minimising the spare parts needed for service providers
This antenna adheres to the NX platform's standard, using a singular coaxial cable for transmitting, receiving, and power, greatly simplifying installation. The standardised modular design reduces operational expenses through easier on-board maintenance, enhancing reliability and decreasing the cost of ownership.
Common modules deliver additional value by minimising the spare parts needed for service providers and enabling quicker repair times for end users.
Intellian’s Upgraded Antenna Management
Intellian’s AptusNX software is designed to further simplify the management and control of the antenna. It features an installation wizard that guides users through step-by-step procedures, easing the setup process.
Automating tasks like cable loss compensation and line-up testing improves efficiency, while real-time alerts assist in proactive maintenance.
Next-Generation Connectivity
The v100NX represents a significant step forward for the commercial shipping industry, complementing existing offerings like the sub-1m v85NX and the 1.5m v150NX.
This launch enables Intellian to extend its innovative technologies to a broader range of maritime users. Ships outfitted with the v100NX will benefit from enhanced data and voice service speeds, supporting both crew welfare and operational efficiency.
Innovative Features of the NX Series
Eric Sung, CEO of Intellian, stated, “It’s rewarding to bring all the innovative features of the NX series to an antenna in the industry’s most common size. As a highly adaptable, future-proof system, the v100NX provides the most advanced, yet cost-effective platform to leverage new connected applications vital to stay efficient and competitive today and tomorrow.”
The commercial release of the Intellian v100NX is scheduled for July.
Intellian, the pioneer of mobile satellite communication antenna systems, is delighted to announce the unveiling of the v100NX, the all-new 1m Ku- to Ka-band convertible maritime VSAT terminal.
Intellian’s latest NX series antenna is designed to simplify and streamline the entire VSAT lifecycle, enabling access to multiple global satellite communication services, providing the crucial connectivity required to leverage new efficiency and welfare-enhancing digital applications.
Intellian network services
The Intellian v100NX is a cutting-edge 1m dual-band convertible antenna, future-proof through its GEO (Geostationary Earth Orbit), MEO (Medium Earth Orbit) and LEO (Low Earth Orbit) constellation tracking capabilities.
It also features an optimised reflector and radome designed to perform efficiently across 2.5GHz wideband Ka network services in the future.
NX platform antenna systems
As with all NX platform antenna systems, the v100NX uses a single coaxial cable combining Tx, Rx, and DC power
As with all NX platform antenna systems, the v100NX uses a single coaxial cable combining Tx, Rx, and DC power. This radically simplifies the installation process, which saves time and reduces cost. Its standardised modular components lower the total cost of ownership by streamlining on-board maintenance and by further increasing industry-pioneering reliability.
The shared common modules provide additional value by reducing spare part stock requirements for service providers, and by enabling a faster repair time for the end-customer.
Intellian’s upgraded antenna management and control platform
Additionally, Intellian’s upgraded antenna management and control platform, the new AptusNX software, includes a revolutionary installation wizard with a step-by-step commissioning guide for easier setup.
Its user-friendly, automated functions minimise operators’ inputs for cable loss compensation, improve line-up testing, as well as remote diagnosis, as the platform sends alerts when predictive maintenance is required.
Next-generation and innovative technologies
Vessels equipped with the v100NX will share faster and version data and voice services, for operations and crew
With Intellian’s sub-1m v85NX and 1.5m v150NX already available, the launch of the 1m v100NX, the de facto VSAT antenna size within the commercial shipping industry, allows Intellian to offer its next-generation and innovative technologies to a wider section of maritime end-users.
Vessels equipped with the v100NX will experience faster and higher performance data and voice services, for operations and crew.
