Overview
The SAILOR 900 Ka is a unique stabilized maritime VSAT antenna system operating in the
Ka-band (26.5 to 40 GHz). It provides bi-directional IP data connections both on regional
satellite beams and quasi-global Ka-band satellite networks. The following figure shows a
coverage map of the Ka service.
The SAILOR 900 Ka system consists of the following units:
• Above Deck Unit (ADU)
• Antenna Control Unit (ACU)
• SAILOR 6080 AC/DC Power Supply Unit (optional)
The system only requires a single 50 Ohm cable to provide the Above Deck Unit (ADU) with
both DC power, data and control information. The radome does not have to be removed
neither before nor after the installation. To protect the ADU the built-in motors act as
brakes during transport and when the ADU is not powered. You can access the SAILOR 900
Ka remotely and make in-depth performance analysis using the built-in web interface.
The following figure shows the SAILOR 900 Ka system.
