INTRODUCTION
Intellian v100Ka Features
Ka-band optimized reflector
The v100Ka carbon fiber reflector is designed and engineered to operate on the Ka-band
while maximizing the RF performance. The reflector of the v100Ka is designed to be extremely
precise and very stable in all operating conditions.
Frequency tuned radome
To ensure efficient operations for Ka-band systems, the signal loss of the radome itself is
minimized and the performance maximized with an optimized radome design that enhances
the Ka-band system performance.
Gyro-free satellite search capability
Intellian’s new generation gyro-free satellite search function enables the v100Ka to acquire
and lock onto the satellite without an input from a ship's gyrocompass.
Graphical and user-friendly antenna control software
The v100Ka provides a newly developed, graphic-based antenna remote control program
with an additional Software Development Kit (SDK), allowing the NOC or service center to
integrate antenna monitoring and control into its existing network management systems in
an easier, user-friendly, and convenient manner.
Dedicated Management Ethernet Port
The v100Ka has a Management Ethernet Port on the front of the ACU that enables direct
and simple network connection between a PC and the ACU. The Management Port allows
Internet access and quick access to Intellian's remote management solution, the Aptus Web.
Wireless access via Wi-Fi
The built-in Wi-Fi wireless network card enables the ACU to be wirelessly connected and can
be turned on and off by a switch. Wireless devices such as PCs, laptops and smartphones
can be used to connect to the ACU and monitor, enabling users to control and change the
settings of Intellian antenna system wirelessly.
Intelligent firmware upgrade
Intellian v100Ka provides easy and intelligent firmware upgrade methods. Firmware upgrades
can be automatically initiated by plugging a firmware stored USB Memory Stick to the USB
Port on the front of the ACU or by launching ‘Firmware Upgrade’ on the Aptus
®
or Aptus
Web. Users can also manually select a firmware file on a local disk and complete the upgrade.
The firmware can be rolled back to a previous version as the ACU’s built-in memory stores
the current and previous firmware files.
