Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): Operational Overview
The Intellian v85NX and v85NX XCVR Ku-to-Ka & Ka-to-Ku Convertible VSAT is a type-approved commercial marine communication system engineered for high-reliability deep-sea and offshore vessel operations. Compliant with international IMO/SOLAS and IEC standards, the unit is fully supplied, bench-tested, and supported worldwide by Seanav Marine from our Dubai Maritime City (DMC) technical facility.
Customers can select from Intellian v85NX, either a Ku- to Ka-band or Ka- to Ku-band convertible maritime VSAT antenna system with a 85cm diameter reflector. The compact 85cm antenna’s footprint (96kg) enables installation on smaller vessels, yet still allows the system to operate on a 1-meter designed network.
The v850NX XCVR System features a 4.5w &9W Ka-band transceiver options, and also allows for supporting dual-polarization and wide-band Ka up to 2.5Ghz. This new series from Intellian will help to provide reliable and future-proof performance that supports any increasing data demands that the maritime industry will have.
