Distributor of Intellian marine satellite TVRO and VSAT communications antennas, Intellian UK is launching the new Intellian v80G antenna at the Tullett Prebon London Boat Show 2012 to the UK. The 83cm (33 in.) Ku-band v80G VSAT communications antenna is ideal for larger yachts and for when owners may not have the space to install a bigger antenna.

The Intellian antenna range provides boat owners, crew and guests with reliable and high speed broadband Internet connection and high quality TV access whether moored or at sea, as they continuously connect and acquire and track satellites. The design of the new Intellian v80G enables the antenna to have similar performance to a 1.00m antenna, allowing it to operate on the edge of a signal footprint, increasing dependability when the signal matters most.

Its unlimited azimuth eliminates cable wrap and the lengthy loss of signal connection as the system unwinds. Intellian uses just two cables between the v80G’s ADU and BDU by combining the BUC power and TX signal into one cable. The other cable carries the RX signal. The antenna has a broad elevation range, from -15° to +110° and a maximum roll of +/- 25° and pitch of +/- 15°.

Intellian has developed an all new Antenna Control Unit (ACU) for the v80G that supports Wi-Fi connectivity for control and monitoring of the system from anywhere onboard. A Bluetooth Connection Module is also provided to connect directly with the antenna dome, making set-up and maintenance effortless. A history logging feature is also accessible. Firmware can be updated via Wi-Fi or external USB drive. The antenna supports a range of Block Up Converters (BUC) including NJRC 4w, 8w, Codan 8w mini BUC.

The v80G complements the upcoming t80 satellite TVRO dome, scheduled for shipping in March 2012, to provide boat owners with a compact dual antenna solution for communications and entertainment.

All Intellian antenna systems are designed, manufactured and tested to withstand the company’s industry-leading standards for vibration and resonance frequency, and extreme shock in all sea states and weather conditions. VSAT and 3-axis TVRO warranties are increased to an industry-leading two years for parts and one year for labour, while the i-series 2-axis antenna warranties are increased to three years.
