The Intellian v240MT, a pioneering 2.4 metre tri-band and multi-orbit maritime VSAT antenna system, has swiftly made its mark with over 100 units now operational on oil rigs, cruise vessels, and survey ships. These antennas deliver high-speed and resilient data connectivity, capturing significant global interest.
In a testament to its versatile capabilities, the v240MT won the prestigious Satellite Technology of the Year Award, bestowed by Via Satellite in May. This recognition highlights the antenna's ability to seamlessly function with Geostationary (GEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites across C-, Ku-, and Ka-band frequencies, providing unmatched flexibility and reliability.
New Era of High-Throughput Connectivity
The award, presented at the Satellite 2019 event in Washington, DC, was decided through a combination of expert judging and industry voting. The panel of judges commended the v240MT for its capability to access nearly all existing satellite constellations.
Designed with an eye towards future networks in GEO, MEO, and LEO orbits, this innovation signifies a major step forward in high-throughput maritime connectivity.
Unmatched Global Availability
The v240MT also stood out for its resilience and adaptability, crucial for ensuring consistent Internet access for cruise passengers and supporting the substantial data needs of smart, secure offshore operations.
This robust performance was a decisive factor in distinguishing the system amidst strong competition.
As the world’s first 2.4 metre tri-band and multi-orbit maritime VSAT antenna system, the Intellian v240MT was sure to attract attention from around the world and there are already more than 100 of these antennas providing redundant, resilient and high-speed data to guests and crew on oil rigs, cruise ships and survey vessels.
In recognition of its ability to operate with Geostationary (GEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites using C-, Ku- or Ka-band frequencies, and the game-changing flexibility and resilience this provides, the v240MT antenna was handed Via Satellite’s inaugural Satellite Technology of the Year Award in May.
