Intellian V85NX Ku-Ka-Band 3-Axis Stabilized Marine VSAT Antenna
Dual band antenna with simplified conversion from Ku-Band to Ka-Band operation in less than 10 mintues
V85NX Ka-Ku-Band Convertible Marine VSAT
The Intellian V85NX features a highly spectrally efficient design and outstanding RF performance compared to other 80cm class systems, enabling high-througput data speeds and worldwide connectivity. The 85cm antenna's ultra compact footprint enables it to be mounted on even the smallest of vessels, all while allowing the system to operate on a 1-meter designed network. The world’s first Ku- to Ka-band convertible antenna can simply be converted by changing the center-mounted RF Assembly and Feed using a convenient upgrade kit. The reflector and radome have been extensively frequency tuned for both satellite bands, which ensures maximum performance across both. The NX series is ready for future NGSO constellations as well as 2.5GHz wideband Ka frequencies.
Intellian’s highly efficient RF design delivers the best performance compared to other 80cm class systems, enabling higher data rates and global operation. The compact 85cm antenna’s smaller footprint allows installation on smaller vessels and gives them access to 1-meter designed networks. It also has several different BUC power options available up to 25W that give it a wider operational range. The v85NX antenna is ideal for commercial ships, the oil and gas industry, and mission-critical operations where uninterrupted connectivity is required.
Modularized Components
With the modular component design, the number of spare parts is significantly reduced by more than 30%. It now only needs 13 common spare parts to fix most potential problems. Thus, its reliability is improved, its maintenance is simpler, and the total cost of ownership for the system is lowered.
Simplified Installation
Combining Tx, Rx and DC power into one coaxial cable solution with an external dome-on connection enables faster and reduced costs of installation. It also eliminates the need to remove the radome during installation. Users can operate AptusNX by simply plugging a laptop into the ACU, without any need to download extra software. The M&C system presents an installation wizard with a step-by-step commissioning guide to more easily complete setup, and with enhanced diagnostic capabilities, Aptus can send an alert to the operator when preventative maintenance is required.
