World’s First 1.25 Meter Ku-Ka Convertible VSAT System For High Speed Internet On Ships Launched

A new model has been released by Intellian in its latest NX Series future proof, leading performance and reduced lifecycke cost ASAT antenna portfolio.

The v130NX is the first ever Ku-Ka convertible VSAT terminal which has a 1.25-meter reflector. This makes it the most favoratble platform for high speed internet globally on ships, offshore vessels, and superyachts.

The v130NX is a flexible system that supports both Ku-band and Ka-band (2.5 GHz Wide) networks. It can work with GEO (Geostationary Earth Orbit), MEO (Medium Earth Orbit) and LEO (Low Earth Orbit) constellations. Like the other NX Series antennas, the v130NX can also be converted easily from Ku-band to Ka-band by altering the Radio Frequency (RF) Assembly and Feed because the reflector and radome are already optimized to perform across both frequency bands.

The v130NX has a very efficient design and options of high-power BUC that range up to 40 W, thereby enabling it to give the highest RF performance like any 1.25-meter system which is available today. Its smart satellite handover capability helps give a network service that is seamless on literally any satellite. This feature satisfies the requirement for better resilience, reliability, and redundancy along with the maximization of long-term value of the investment by bringing a reduction in the cost of migrating to future GEO HTS and low-latency MEO and LEO networks.

It is easy to install, commission, and manage the v130NX. Single cable is used in it that combines Tx, Rx, and DC power so as to make the installation simple. By using the new AptusNX interface the antenna can connect to any network in just a few minutes and it also provides access through remote thereby making it easy to operate and maintain. The NX Series also includes a top notch modular design which leads to reduced cost of ownership during the complete lifecycle. It raises reliability and the speed of maintenance and brings down the cost even more because of the reduction in the amount of spare parts by 40%.

“With lower total cost of ownership and incredible performance, the v130NX offers the quality and reliability that our customers demand for better crew and guest connectivity, as well as digital vessel operations and fleet management,” said Eric Sung, CEO of Intellian. “With the addition of our new NX Series matching radomes concept, we are also giving our superyacht customers a little something extra – the ability to meet both the style and performance criteria unique to the luxury sector with the v130NX and the entire NX Series.”
