Intellian has unveiled its latest advancement in satellite communication technology with the introduction of the new 1.5m Ku to Ka convertible VSAT terminal, the v150NX. This pioneering system is notable for being the world’s first and only 1.5m terminal that supports conversion between Ku and Ka bands, allowing for seamless operation on 2.5GHz Wide Ka-band networks. Additionally, it is compatible with various satellite constellations, including GEO (Geostationary Earth Orbit), MEO (Medium Earth Orbit), and LEO (Low Earth Orbit).
Advanced RF Performance and Versatility
The design of the v150NX ensures high efficiency, offering exceptional radio frequency (RF) performance among the 1.5m systems currently available for ship owners, operators, and network providers. This system can be readily converted to Ka-band by modifying the RF Assembly and Feed, while the reflector and radome are engineered to function across both frequency bands.
Showcasing at the Satellite Show
The Ka-band variant of this terminal, v150NX Ka, is being showcased at the Satellite Show held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC, from May 6-9, 2019. This advanced terminal has demonstrated impressive speeds of up to 830Mbps during trials and offers the ability to track GEO, MEO, and LEO satellites. This capability prepares it for integration with new high-speed and low-latency networks.
Reliability and Broad Compatibility
Both the v150NX and its Ka variant ensure dependable, high-throughput broadband connectivity at sea and can be installed swiftly for precise satellite tracking, functioning as a land gateway antenna system. They can track satellites on both mobile and fixed platforms, featuring smart satellite handover capability facilitated by an integrated mediator.
Innovations with the NX Platform
Equipped with Intellian’s new NX platform, these systems provide seamless network operation with high-speed bi-directional IP connectivity. Utilizing the Intellian Fiber Link Solution, antennas can interconnect without signal loss even over long distances. Additionally, the system employs a single cable to unify transmission (Tx), reception (Rx), and DC power, simplifying and reducing installation times.
Continued Technological Advancements
Eric Sung, CEO of Intellian, stated, “The industry-pioneering performance, simplified installation and ensured compatibility with future constellations and networks positions our new 1.5m antennas as one of the most innovative, flexible and cost-effective connectivity platforms available for diverse users on land and at sea.”
Besides the v150NX Ka, Intellian intends to introduce several new satellite communication technologies at Satellite 2019. These include the LP100, a man-portable, military-spec land terminal; the all-new GX100NX designed for use on the Global Xpress network; and the OW70, which is configured for LEO constellations.
Intellian, the pioneer of mobile satellite communication antenna systems, is introducing the new 1.5m Ku to Ka convertible VSAT terminal.
The world’s first and only 1.5m Ku to Ka convertible VSAT, v150NX, is a future-proof system supporting 2.5GHz Wide Ka-band networks as well as GEO (Geostationary Earth Orbit), MEO (Medium Earth Orbit) and LEO (Low Earth Orbit) constellations.
Best RF performance
Its highly efficient design delivers the best RF performance of any 1.5m system on the market now for ship owners, operators and network providers.
It is easily converted to Ka-band by changing the RF Assembly and Feed, as the reflector and radome are optimized for operation across both frequency bands.
GEO/MEO/LEO tracking capability
At this year’s Satellite Show, which is held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in DC this week, May 6-9, 2019 (booth #925), Intellian is displaying its new product’s Ka-band version, the v150NX Ka.
This state-of-the-art terminal is also compatible with future 2.5GHz Wide Ka-band networks and has delivered speeds of 830Mbps in trials already. With GEO/MEO/LEO tracking capability, the v150NX Ka delivers unmatched performance now and is ready for operation with forthcoming new high-speed and low-latency networks.
Land gateway antenna system
Both the v150NX and v150NX Ka enable reliable, high-throughput broadband at sea and can be quickly installed to deliver precise, cost-effective satellite tracking as a land gateway antenna system.
With its ability to track any satellites on mobile and fixed platforms, and includes smart satellite handover capability enabled by an embedded mediator.
New NX platform
Operators can now provide a seamless network with high-speed bi-directional IP connectivity. Additionally, the antenna can be interconnected with no loss of signal even at longer distances, using the Intellian Fiber Link Solution.
Moreover, with the new NX platform, Intellian’s 1.5m satellite communication systems use a single cable, which combines Tx, Rx, and DC power, to simplify installation.
A cutting-edge modular design results in lower cost of ownership throughout the entire lifecycle, while improving reliability and streamlining maintenance.
New and innovative satellite communication technologies
Eric Sung, CEO of Intellian, said, “The industry-pioneering performance, simplified installation and ensured compatibility with future constellations and networks positions our new 1.5m antennas as one of the most innovative, flexible and cost-effective connectivity platforms available for diverse users on land and at sea.”
Alongside the new v150NX Ka, Intellian will also highlight the expansion of its diverse portfolio with the launch of more new and innovative satellite communication technologies at Satellite 2019, including; the LP100, man-portable, military spec land terminal; the all new GX100NX for use on the Global Xpress network; and the OW70 for LEO constellations.
