This chapter is organised in the following sections:
• FV-110 system
• Part numbers and options
1.1 FV-110 system
The FV-110 is a unique stabilized maritime VSAT antenna system operating in the Ku-
band (10.7 to 14.5 GHz). It provides bi-directional IP data connections both on regional
satellite beams and quasi-global Ku-band satellite networks. The system only requires a
single 50 Ohm cable to provide the Above Deck Unit 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 Above Deck Unit the built-in DC motors act as brakes during
transport and when the Above Deck Unit is not powered. The ADU system can be
accessed remotely and in-depth performance analysis can be done using the built-in web
interface.
The FV-110 system consists of the following units:
• Above Deck Unit (ADU)
• Antenna Control Unit (ACU)
The following figure shows the FV-110 system.
