2.1 SAILOR 100 GX system
2.1.1 Overview
The SAILOR 100 GX is a unique stabilized maritime GX antenna system
operating in the Ka-band (19.2 to 30 GHz). It is used with the Global Xpress
service from Inmarsat, delivering consistent high-performance download
speeds of up to 50 Mbps and 5 Mbps over the uplink. The following figure
shows the coverage map of the GX service at global service introduction.
The SAILOR 100 GX system consists of the following units:
• Above Deck Unit (ADU)
• Antenna Control Unit (ACU)
•GX Modem Unit (GMU)
• 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 DC motors act as brakes during transport and
when the ADU is not powered. You can access the SAILOR 100 GX remotely
and make in-depth performance analysis using the built-in web interface.
