• Part numbers and options
2.1 SAILOR 900 VSAT High Power system
The SAILOR 900 VSAT High Power 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 SAILOR 900 VSAT High Power system consists of the following units:
•Above Deck Unit (ADU)
• Antenna Control Unit (ACU)
The following figure shows the SAILOR 900 VSAT High Power system.
SAILOR 900 VSAT High Power features
 Single 50 Ohm coax cable for the ADU.
 Support of several VSAT modems.
