Intellian launches new satellite TV antennas for ships
Satcom provider Intellian Technologies has announced new t-Series and s-Series antennas to improve live television services for personnel onboard maritime vessels
The new t-Series antennas will be available from September and feature upgrades to Intellian’s WorldView Technology (WLNB), enabling television viewing onboard anywhere in the world as vessels travel between regional services.
The four new models of the t-Series, t85N, t100N, t130N, t150N, range from 85cm up to 150cm and join Intellian’s extensive portfolio of satellite TV antennas designed for vessels ranging from 20ft to over 1,000ft. The t-Series is built on Intellian’s NX platform and has fewer spare parts (the company claims a 40% reduction).
An unlimited azimuth rotation system (360-degree span) will ensure better quality satellite TV signals throughout tight manoeuvres. The series will also incorporate a new antennae control unit (ACU) enabling faster downloading of log files and upgrades to system.
A new s-Series range (designed for the US regional market) is also in development and expected to launch later this year. The new s100N and s130N, will be a dual Ka-band for the US and Ku-band for the Mediterranean, TV-only antenna system, which supports DIRECTV and DishNET reception.
CEO Eric Sung said “Our first ever Intellian product was the i4, a satellite TV antenna we launched back in 2004 which brought live sports, current affairs and broadcasting to mariners all over the world.”
The provider said the demand for live TV at sea remains strong from passengers onboard commercial ships, cruise ships, ferries and yachts.
Mr Sung added “With many launches since then, this new t-Series marks Intellian’s continued leadership in satellite antenna innovation and commitment to improving user and customer experience. With live TV crucial in keeping seafarers connected to home territories and maintaining morale on working vessels, we’re proud to launch a product to bring more value and improved experience to maritime customers.”
Intellian said the updated technology will improve the ease of installation, making it faster for engineers to deliver services onboard and troubleshoot problems through the company’s bespoke user interface, AptusNTV. The new five cable RF configuration system enables like-for-like swaps with other products.
